Delve into this unique look at meteorites that have been found in
almost each of the 50 US states, and discover how these treasured
rocks from space fell down to Earth. With each state entry,
award-winning author and mineral and fossil expert Yinan Wang
presents details about several meteorites that are worthy of
becoming official state meteorites. Since no state has an official
state meteorite, this kids' guidebook explores each state's
"unofficial" meteorite, along with its interesting backstory of why
it was selected. ; More than 150 illustrations and photographs
showcase these marvels from outer space; Meteorites have not been
found in all states so helpful suggestions are given on where they
might be found; Suggestions and guidance are provided so that the
reader can lead the way in getting one designated; Museums and
parks with meteorites are listed in the appendix From the Lafayette
Mars meteorite found in a drawer in Purdue University to the
26-pound space rock that smashed into the trunk of a car in
Peekskill, New York, immerse young science students in an
encyclopedic yet easy read that is great for aspiring
meteoriticists.
