The BrustseiteHi Martin, Hi All,

Archie is surely nice, although maybe a little bit too "weathered", for my
taste. My favourite
is Bob Haag's "Venus Stone" - see Bob grabbing a cast of it at:

http://www.meteoriteman.com/inventory/misc.htm

It looks more "fresh", doesn't it ;-? You find another nice oriented stone
exhibiting a reasonably
fresh Brustseite on Bruno's homepage (to the lower right):

http://www.meteorite.fr/en/news/

Again, a male hand is grabbing for it - really strange :-))

Best from Germany, the land of the "Brustseite",
Norbert

  Hi All,

  On page 52 of O.R. Norton’s new book, the Cambridge Encyclopedia of
Meteorites, he uses the term brustseite to describe oriented meteorites. The
footnote at the bottom of the page offers the following: “The word
brustseite is German literally translated as breast side, or more
appropriately, front side. It is a seldom used term in meteoritics today,
but still useful when referring to oriented meteorites which in many cases
mimic the shape of the female breast.”

  Disregarding the “appropriately”-ness of the translation, I am wondering
if there is a more breast-like oriented meteorite than Archie, Missouri.
Here is a link to a picture (it’s just a meteorite picture, no comparison is
included):

  Remember, Archie is 70 years old (;- )

  Cheers,

  Martin
