Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico.

Meteorites are naturally occurring, solid objects which reach the earth from space. Man has known about meteorites for millennia, and classical Chinese and ancient Greek and Latin literature have recorded the fall of stones from the sky. The oldest fall from which material is definitely known is the Ensisheim meteorite which fell on the 16th of November in 1492 near Ensisheim, Alsace, France. Until the early 1800's scientists remained skeptical about stones that fell from the sky. Then on April 26, 1803, a fireball was observed over France and a shower of several thousand stones fell near L'Aigle. Biot (1803) described this fall and established that meteorites do indeed fall from the sky. Brown (1961) has estimated that about 500 meteorites arrive on the earth each year of which about five are recovered (about one fall per year is recovered in the U.S.). Meteorites are named after their place of fall or find (closest village or well-known landmark). Meteorites vary in size, with the smallest weighing 0.0003 gm (Sikhote Alin, USSR) and the largest weighing about 60 metric tons (Hoba, Southwest Africa). Meteorites frequently break apart during entry into the earth's atmosphere, producing meteorite showers. The largest known meteorite shower in terms of the number of specimens occurred near Pultusk, Poland, in 1868, from which about 100,000 stones were recovered. Meteorites are divided into four broad classes: achondrites, chondrites, stony-irons and irons. Chondrites are the most abundant meteorites, making up 86% of the known meteorite falls, and stony-irons and irons the least abundant with 1.3 and 3.7%, respectively (Table 1). The irons and stony-irons, how-ever, make up over 50% of the finds, because they are easier to recognize and are more resistant to terrestrial weathering. The achondrites (Figs. 1, 2) are generally divided into eight
