Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Handbook and Descriptive Catalogue of the Meteorite Collections in the United States National Museum The handbook and catalogue presented herewith is intended primarily for the use of the general public, but the subject matter is at the same time so arranged as to meet the needs of the student and investigator as well, though naturally an exhaustive discussion of some of the more abstruse problems is omitted. The descriptive matter is most complete regarding falls of which the collections contain what is considered a fair representation. Indeed, the exhibition portion of the collection is limited to specimens of upwards of 50 grams in weight, all under this weight being relegated to the drawer or study series. The entire collection numbers at the time this catalogue goes to press 329 falls and finds, and is accompanied by an equal number of thin sections for microscopic study. The bibliography is intentionally brief, reference being made only to such publications as have furnished the information given in the abstract. Wülfing´s Die Meteoriten in Sammlungen und ihre Literature 1897, is believed to make greater elaboration unnecessary. Since the issue of the two previous catalogues, that by Dr. F. W. Clarke in 1889, and that by Mr. Wirt Tassin in 1902, the entire collection has been re-catalogued, independent of the mineral collection of which it had previously been considered a part, and is now treated as belonging more properly to petrology. Inasmuch as the Shepard collection is given a case by itself, it has been thought advisable to list it here independently, as was done in Doctor Clarke´s catalogue of 1889. That collection comprises 234 falls and finds, of which 83 are not represented in the National Museum collection proper. The combined collections, therefore, number 412 independent falls and finals.
