Overview
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.
