[meteorite-list] New Monthly Meteorite Column on Geology.com

[jbaxter112 at pol.net]

Hi Geoff,

This is a great way to expand interest in meteorites. People interested in
geology are a natural audience to be fascinated by meteorites. I was only
interested in minerals until someone let me hold a Sikhote-Alin. I was
hooked instantly. I suspect (and hope) your great photos and articles will
have a similar effect on many of those geology enthusiasts out there.

Best Wishes,
Jim Baxter


> Dear Friends and Listees:

>

> Greetings from sunny Tucson, AZ.

>

> I am delighted to announce a new online monthly meteorite column

> entitled "Meteorwritings." It will be presented exclusively on Dr.

> Hobart King's Geology.com -- one of the world's top science websites.

> The first installment, "What are Meteorites?" went live this evening.

> The column is aimed at a broad audience, so you meteorite experts will

> already be familiar with the topics and concepts covered, particularly

> in the early installments. As the column progresses, we will look at

> more advanced topics, and we do have a few treats in store.

>

> Each month the column will feature new, original photography by my

> design and photography assistant, Leigh Anne DelRay, and myself. I

> hope you'll find the images, and the column itself, to be enjoyable.

>

> "Meteorwritings" is currently featured on the front page of the site:

> www.geology.com

>

> And its home page lives here:  http://www.geology.com/meteorites/

>

> As the months go by we will compile an archive of past columns for

> easy viewing.

> I'd like to thank Dr. King for this marvelous opportunity to reach out

> to a wider audience, and also my staff: Timothy Arbon who illustrated
