[meteorite-list] Geology.com Monthly Meteorite Column - December

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:


The December episode of my monthly science column "Meteorwritings" is  
live on Geology.com:

December's feature is a guide to buying and collecting meteorites,  
aimed primarily at the novice. However, we took a set of a brand new,  
original photographs for the column, and I'd particularly like to  
invite you to view the 1.3 kg Sikhote-Alin with natural hole. Has to  
be one of the best I've ever seen.

As always, comments are gratefully received. As the primary purpose of  
this column is to introduce meteorites and meteorite collecting to a  
general audience, I'd also welcome suggestions for future column  
topics that might appeal to a geologically-minded readership. The  
January column will be about impactites, so we've already got that one  
covered.


Thank you for reading and best wishes from Tucson,

Geoff N.
