80 pages : colour photographs, colour maps ; 19 x 26 cm. "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. 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."--adapted from Amazon website. adolescent YINAN WANG ; Illustrations by Jane Levy Includes index Bibliography : page 75-79 Meteorites Juvenile literature Meteorites United States Juvenile literature Meteors 523.51 9780764365089 PPAK 231016 20231109155516.0 eng
