Description
Item for sale is a brand new book about witnessed American meteorite falls by Frank Cressy. Have you ever wondered about the fall circumstances of some US fall you ran across, looked it up in the “Catalogue of Meteorites”, and found little or no information? And you then did an Internet search and found any information was in an obscure reference that hadn’t been scanned and was nearly impossible to get? Or maybe you were just wondering what a particular fall looked like, but could find no photos of it other than a speck somewhere. Cressy’s new compendium is now available. The focus of “From Weston to Creston” is on the fall and recovery circumstances, and the collection history of 152 witnessed US meteorite falls plus 17 possible or probable falls. It also contains many interesting facts the author has run across concerning these events. For instance, did you realize Wethersfield is not the only US city to have two meteorite falls occur within its city limits? Or that in 21 falls, individuals have had truly close encounters, with stones landing within 10 feet of them? Most of the one to three page fall summaries includes a photo of the meteorite. The book is 257 pages and includes an extensive reference section tied to individual falls.
