Hello Listers

I got this post from MetSoc and would like to share it on here. Its a great link on Meteorite
Irons and it has endless readings and I also think you can down load the files and put
them on any reading device.

info from the site:

The Handbook of Iron Meteorites was originally published by the
University of California Press in 1975 for the Center for Meteorite
Studies at Arizona State University. It has been digitized at the
University of Hawai?i as it is still an extraordinarily valuable
resource and is no longer in print. The copyright of this book, which
was originally held by the University of California Press, is now
owned by the Center for Meteorite Studies. We thank the Director of
the Center for Meteorite Studies, Mini Wadhwa, and Vagn Buchwald for
giving us their permission to prepare and distribute this electronic
version.

This is a monumental book in three volumes containing 1426 pages, 2124
figures, eight appendices and a supplement. Volume 1 provides a
general introduction to meteorites, fireballs, and impact craters and
to the mineralogy, composition, and properties of iron meteorites. It
also contains appendices of information about iron meteorites.

Volumes 2 and 3 contain descriptions of about 600 iron
meteorites?nearly all those that were known and accessible in 1975.
These descriptions include information about the structure,
mineralogy, and composition of each iron meteorite, its discovery and
subsequent history, as well as a list of museum holdings. A guide for
users can be found on page 245 at the beginning of Volume 2. At the
end of Volume 3 on pages 1376-1418 there is a supplement containing
information about eleven meteorites that were studied by Vagn after
1973 plus additional notes and photographs for a few other iron
meteorites.

Digitization of the Handbook of Iron Meteorites in 2013 was supported
by a grant from the NASA Cosmochemistry program.
