Hello all,

Marvin Killgore has a new book that should be out soon (the preprint copy
was in Tucson). It's a "Color Atlas of Meteorites in Thin Section". It
shows thin sections of every known meteorite classification and should help
us non-professionals immensely. More information can be found at:

Cheers,
Frank
