Hi, Al and Joseph– The Internet mail-list rocks-and-fossils (described in INTERN.TXT in this forum's library) just saw another burst of activity regarding meteorites; copies of the recent messages follow (the earlier such burst is in RM0005.ARC and RM0006.ARC, still in the library, I think). I passed Al's E-address to Ed just now via the list. –Doug Subject: Meteorites for Sale?

If anyone kept his address, please send it to me. Thanks. > This weekend I went ot a local gem and mineral show. There was a dealer there that had a lot of meteorites. He had more different kinds of meteorites than I had ever seen before even in some large museums. He also had some spectacular Eurypterus remipes specimens at reasonable prices along with the best dinosaur eggs I have ever seen. His address is as follows: Edwin Thompson 5150 SW Dawn Street Lake Oswego OR 97035 503-620-4141 Terry S.

He has also supplied several specimens for a friend of mine. All were nice-sized and as he represented them. I haven't seen anything about him in the last couple of years, but the address I have is Robert A. Haag Meteors Box 27527 Tucson, Arizona 85726 Phone (602)-882-8804 Good luck.

Date: 27-May-94 at 08:10 From: INTERNET:FISHER@UTKVX.UTCC.UTK.EDU, INTERNET:FISHER@UTKVX.UTCC.UTK.EDU I think Robert Haag was at Tucson in February, so he still seems to be in business. Also, a relative of his (brother or sister, I think) has written a recent article in one of the rockhound mags (LJ, Rocks & Mins, or Rocks and Gems) and mentioned Robert. He seems to have a good reputation as a dealer. I think he also advertises in one or more of the mags listed above, so if the address supplied by the earlier respondent is no longer current, it should be easy to obtain one that is. ************************** Dr. Patricia Fisher Information Sciences University of Tennessee Knoxville TN 37996 PFISHER@utkvx.utk.edu **************************
