The Art of Collecting Meteorites |
By Kevin Kichinka, this is the first book dedicated solely to the theory and methodology of collecting meteorites. The hobby’s evolution is covered from its earliest beginnings among the “rich, royal or religious” to the advent of the “Bessey Speck.” Strategies to purchase the highest-quality specimens at the most favorable prices are clearly outlined and a new tool for price determination is introduced. This guide offers advice on care and first aid for your specimens, compares the materials involving their display and affecting their preservation, and suggests an integrated system for cataloguing holdings. Select contributions by the author to the acclaimed quarterly Meteorite are reprised, including those that track his expeditions to discover Bolivia’s first authenticated meteorite. The most powerful legend of the hobby grows, as new forensic evidence and commentary from the grave of the original “Meteorite Man” seals the coffin of the dog a farmer saw struck by a Martian meteorite in 1911. The “Timeline of Historical Meteoritical Events” transports the reader on a breath-taking ride through history that will fire the imagination and enhance the knowledge of every researcher, dealer and collector. The Art of Collecting Meteorites offers the author’s unvarnished observations to help the collector understand and harness the forces driving the marketing of these souvenirs from space. |

METEOR CRATER (CD-ROM) – THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS OF EXPLORATIONS |
The first section begins with an introduction to the Solar System and the small bodies that cause impacts on Earth. The importance of this section is to provide background information, in which to place the resulting impact site here on Earth. The second section, entitled History of Explorations, provides an excellent, in-depth story full of pictures beginning in 1891. The early mining operations at Meteor Crater are a main focus, but this section also chronicles the interesting journey of scientific thought as it evolved through time…..it is hard to believe both how little, and how much, scientists knew about meteorites at the turn of the century compared to our current knowledge. The third section, Canyon Diablo Irons, describes the actual meteorite material found at the crater site. Explanations for impact material are provided, along with several pictures. Part four, Moment of Impact, contains more meteorite images as well as text explaining the scientific information gleaned from the artifacts remaining after the impact. The Conclusion contains a wrap-up of the crater’s history, along with its place in the surrounding geology. The section entitled Other Craters offers a glimpse into eight other cratering events. The final section covering Meteor Crater’s history is the Timeline. From 1886 to 1975, all major events at the crater are listed in chronological order. The user is then treated to a Walking Tour of the crater, featuring information about specific locations around the rim, as well as down to the crater floor. Meteor Crater is closed to public exploration, making this CD the only way most of us will ever explore the crater. Tobin has also included a reprint of Barringer’s 1909 paper about Meteor Crater, as well as some additional information about other craters and impact structures. In addition to all of the above, there is a very informative section covering tektites. In summary, this CD-ROM is a wealth of information for anyone interested in meteorites and craters accompanied by nice, easy to listen to electronic music. |
