Now though I sort of collect specifics. At the moment I have a few areas of interest: 1. Martian meteorites. I guess this is the more expensive of the collection so far. 2. Mesodarites (sp). Think these are just cool. 3. Carbonacaous (sp) See #2 above. Yes I can't spell with a crap. I am an engineer by trade and do good from day to day spelling my own name. Would collect meteorites that hit Alabama but since, to the best of my limited knowledge, there are only 2 known. I have one but the other (the one that went after the woman in her house) is a bit harder to come by. Maybe I will try some Georgia falls since I was born there. James Carroll Beginer meteorite collector ----- Original Message ----- From: Walter Branch To: Meteorite Mailing List Sent: 10/20/2003 6:45:42 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Collecting Habits Hello Everyone, I have been thinking of the different ways to collect meteorites (e.g., type, class, location, etc.) and I was wondering if anyone would care to describe their collecting specialties or subspecialties. The reason I ask is because I have gotten interested in a sort of unusual specialty area - the find or fall consisting of a single specimen. TKW is not an issue as it would be paired with no other specimen. An image comes to my mind of a single, lonely meteorite, a common chondrite, out on the plains of the midwest US (for example) sitting there for hundreds if not thousands of years, just waiting to be found by anyone. Maybe it was looked and wondered about scores of times by many a passerby or maybe just ignored. Anyone else have this interest? I would be interested in hearing about others collecting interests.
