The full text of the two 1994 Meteoritics articles mentioned by Bernd is
available online at the NASA-ADS web site as pdf documents:

Yau et al.:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-data_query?bibcode=1994Metic..29..864Y&link_type=ARTICLE&db_key=AST

Chen & Wang:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-data_query?bibcode=1994Metic..29..886C&link_type=ARTICLE&db_key=AST

These are rather large objects, approx. 1.5 MB and 0.5 MB, and will take a
while to download for those with slow modem connections.

If the long URLs are a problem, go the the ADS query form:

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html

...and enter:

chinese meteorite

...in the "Enter Title Words" field, choose AND as the "Combine with:"
option and click the "Send Query" button at the top of the form. With a
little patience and cleverness you will be able to navigate your way to the
full text of the articles from the list of links which will be returned
from your query.

Walter Branch, are you reading this? There is interesting material about
human casualties and structural damage in the Yau et al. article, if you
haven't already seen it!

Best wishes to all,

Piper Hollier
