[meteorite-list] The Tabor 1753 fall

[Mark Grossman]

Burke in Cosmic Debris refers to the Journal Book of the Royal Society when 
discussing Tabor.  Marvin references Burke.

I am familiar with the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, but 
not the Journal Book.

Anyone have any info?

Chris and Listers,

What type of information are you looking for about the Tabor fall? At the 
time that Tabor fell, in 1753, there wasnt much research done at the time 
and Chladni hadnt came in to the picture yet. I would say that it took up 
till Siena before meteoritic science started to take a strong hold and 
L'Aigle fall to seal the deal. I did notice that scholars did take note with 
some of these thunder stones and started to piece them together and one 
scholar, Howard, observed physical characteristics within the matrix of 
these stones and the Tabor fall. But for the most part with the Tabor fall, 
there is bits and pieces of information that one has to piece together. One 
can conclude that with this fall and countless other falls,helped pave the 
way with meteoritic science.

Here is a great link about Chladin and the origins of modern meteorite 
research. With this paper write by Marvin there is section about early falls 
and how they came to be. If you have the time I would try to read up on it 
if you already hadnt done so all ready.
