A statistical analysis of literature on meteorites and related subjects published between 1491 and 2005
The MetBase Library of Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences
.
The database is keyword-indexed and holds the names of objects studied in the original publication (e.g., meteorite names, crater names, Apollo lunar rock ID numbers).
.
Non-copyrighted abstract text for many references was kindly provided by Astrophysics Data System (ADS) of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA.. The original ADS bibcode is shown with the reference in order to allow MetBase users to retrieve the reference information directly from ADS online database (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html).
.
If a publication contains meteorite analysis data and if such information is stored in another database table, a link to this information can easily be set from the bibliography section of MetBase.
