Meteorite List Archives for [meteorite-list] ordinary chondrite photo wantedI have a favor to ask of those who are interested. I have just finished a lengthy and comprehensive book on ordinary chondrites for Cambridge University Press. It is scheduled to be published at the end of the year, but the date is likely to slip by a few months. I need a photo of an ordinary chondrite for the cover. It must not have been previously published, and if I use it, the copyright will be transferred to Cambridge University Press. I offer no compensation in return. But there will be bragging rights, and, of course, proper acknowledgement in the book. What I want ideally is an LL3 whole rock with a cut face showing lots of chondrules, tilted at an angle so the fusion crust is visible. The meteorite can be a fall or find as long as it is in good shape. But it must be an officially approved specimen, listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database. If any of you folks are willing, please send your images directly to me at: aerubin at ucla.edu When you send the photos, please send as high a resolution as possible. Also, please formally give me permission to use the photo in your submission email. Thanks to all of you. I look forward to your submissions.
