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

[Dark Matter]

Bravo Geoff! Very well done.

I appreciate your condensed and to the point presentation of meteorite
collecting in a nutshell.

I have a presentation on meteorites at the National Science Teachers
Association's national conference in New Orleans this coming spring.
I'll be covering more about meteorites than collecting them, but when
I've done such things in the past, collecting seems to be a primary
interest of those who attend a session about meteorites. I intend to
steer the attendees to your geology.com meteorite collecting article.

Regarding future topics, I often intersect the path of professional
geologists when it comes to two main topics One is whether something
is a meteorite or not (almost always a no-brainer-not, of course), and
the second is in their desire to know where a meteorite comes from in
space, and how a particular space rock can be paired with its parent
body in space.

Oh, nice Harrison slice. Where'd you get it? (;- )

Best,

Martin
