[meteorite-list] Australia
Dear List Members: Slighly off topic, what are the GPS coordinates for Adelaide Australia? My wife and I will be in Woomera on December 4th to witness a total solar eclipse in the outback!

Sincerely Greg Shanos Sarasota, Florida
[meteorite-list] LEONID METEORS FROM SARASOTA, FL
Dear List Members: Sorry, for the late reply. I observed 164 meteors from 4:30am to 6:00am from Longboat Key (Sarasota) Florida. I was on the beach, facing east, with the moon behind me. Temperature was "cold" by Florida standards- a whopping 54 F. Perfectly clear skies since a high pressure front moved in. I witnessed over 600 Leonids in 2 hours on Nov 19, 2001 under a moonless clear night in Chiefland, Florida (near Gainesville). The leonid storm will live forever in my memories. Sincerely Greg Shanos
[meteorite-list] Murchison Amino Acids
Dear Johnathan, Bernd and List: Jonathan inquired: > Does anybody know the names of the unidentified amino > acids in Murchison? Do they even have names? Hello Jonathan and List, Just in case you wonder why nobody has responded yet. I think this is due to an "unwritten law" that we should not poach in someone else's game preserve :-) The undisputed expert in this field has always been Greg Shanos, so I guess everyone is waiting for him to chime in. Yoohoo, Greg, where are yoo? Bernd Greg Shanos replies: Bernd, thank you very much for the compliment. I have scanned and made .pdf files of all my articles on Allende and Murchison published in Meteorite! The following emails with attachments contain these articles for your reading pleasure. They are safe to download, tested and virus free. I you have any furthur questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Sincerely Greg Shanos Sarasota, Florida USA

[meteorite-list] Meteorites & Fossils- The ultimate nirvana
Dear List members: This is slightly off topic but I know many of you out there also collect fossils on the side. I recently purchased an aquatic reptile of the Triassic period called a Keichousaurus hui. I am having trouble finding any real scientfic information on the web. Does anyone have any information on this incredible fossil? Any websites, books, monographs, primary literature articles etc. Any help is appreciated. Sincerely Greg Shanos Sarasota, Florida
[meteorite-list] My First Specimens
Dear List Members: My first meteorite was actually a package of three irons. In October 1985, I saw an ad in SKY & TELESCOPE by Robert Haag for meteorites! I never knew that normal people were able to own meteorites. I assumed they were "untouchable" like the moon rocks. Only available to museums and universities. Well, I sent away for his catalog and purchased three irons approximately 100 grams each of an Odessa complete slice, Canyon Diablo individual and Henbury individual. All three for only $60 including shipping!!! Ah, those were the days. My next purchase was a 1gram fragment of Murchison for only $20. When I weighted it on my balance, it was actually 2.1 grams. The rest is history... I was only 25 years old when I purchased these specimens. I can remember the pre-internet days where one never saw how the meteorite actually appeared. I too liked David News descriptions, choice, suberb, etc It was a real thrill opening up the package and seeing the specimen for the first time. All specimens received where top quality meteorites, I rarely ever sent any back. Today, one knows how the meteorite appears before purchase- still a thrill in my mind. Take care.
