I thoroughly agree -- well-written, broad article on the Carancas fall
with good pictures and a nice sidebar on meteorite classification.
(Like Mike, I was kindly given a preview of the article by Dr. Melosh
last month.)  I'm even more anxious to read technical papers on the
Carancas samples themselves (one or more of which may already be in
the peer-review stage).  If you think everything you've heard and read
about the Carancas fall is already 3-sigma weird, wait 'til the
cosmochemistry results are out.  --Rob

Fantastic article. I was lucky enough to get to preview this from Dr Jackson
some weeks ago.
