Buzzard Coulee Meteorite Fall

For those interested in the scientific output of the Buzzard Coulee meteorite fall, the following abstracts have been submitted to the 40th Lunar & Planetary Science Conference (2009):
 
-- Universities of Calgary / Western Ontario / Regina / Saskatchewan abstract on the fall and find:

-- Portland State University / U. of Calgary abstract on petrography:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2009/pdf/1893.pdf
 
-- University of Alberta abstract on mineralogy, petrology and cosmogenic radionuclide chemistry:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2009/pdf/2072.pdf
--  I recently came across this (mostly) good mainstream media article on the Buzzard Coulee meteorite featuring an extensive interview with Murray, here:

-- While I'm at it, a heads-up that my website recapping Frank's and my experiences at Buzzard Coulee as well as at the periphery of the subsequent research has been updated to follow the story of "our" meteorites into the academic and public domains:
