Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Mr. Mark Lyon is a meteorite dealer, hunter, and collector, based in Phoenix, Arizona. Meteorites are his full-time passion. He travels to international shows to display his collection. He also travels frequently to museums, universities, and private collections. When a new, exciting specimen is discovered, he is often the first person who is contacted. In his talk, Mark will describe how he built a collection of extraordinary fragments from the cosmos. From rare iron meteorites to exotic pallasites and lunar speciments, he will show examples, tell how they formed, and where they landed on Earth. On Monday, January 26th, 10:00 am, Mr. Lyon will give our members a tour of his 3-gallery exhibit, Mark Lyon's Meteorites, at the Pueblo Show, Ramada by Wyndham, 777 W Cushing St., Rooms 159, 160, and 161. No reserversations are needed, and there is no cost. Everyone will provide his/her own transportation, and we will meet at the gallery. " Mark Lyon's Meteorites"
