Keep in mind that the color is more likely to be from ionization of the
atmosphere - nitrogen, oxygen, etc. which will glow with different colors
depending upon the height where ionization takes place.

Jeff,
I'm sure you'll get much more knowledgable and detailed answers than
this, but I do remember reading somewhere that green indicates

G'day List,
I was a little curious if there is any knowledge of meteorite falls being
documented as to what colour the meteor falling was, and the later
classification. Has there ever been any determination for example that an
iron will flame a different colour to a H-Chondrite or a Eucrite etc?
Hello Listees,
Looking for whole-rock and/or internal isochron diagrams for the martian
meteorites. Rb-Sr diagrams preferred, but all types welcome. Diagrams
available electronically would be super!
(Already checked "Planetary Materials" (Reviews in Mineralogy #36), but
no diagrams in chapter 6

The article by Koeberl et al. says:

So as long ago as the Venus of Willendorf was made (50k years?) there were
meteorite collectors... since probably the moldavite came in as a trade
good from where it was originally collected. Kinda gives you a feeling of
continuity.

Hi Herbert, Jeannie and list,
Following a talk with Alexander (my colleague, who did his PhD on Venus
figurines from the central European Gravettian) yesterday, he went back to
his notes from 1997, when he went through the Willendorf artefact
collection. His notes make clear that there still are

Dear Steve, and List;
Oh Geeze! I can't hold it back any longer.
