Hello Michael,
If there was not an immediate and clear business plan to classify and/or
examine suspect meteorites, as we were led to believe in Tucson, why did
they start selling "Trophies" to help their 'business' efforts in order to
do so in a timely manner? Also, I believe we were told the 'Center' would
purchase the entire meteorite after/during the classification process to
protect said 'meteorite' (if it were one).
Inquiring minds...
Greg

Hi All,
OK, I contacted the Southwest Meteorite Center at U of A.
Dr. Lauretta was on vacation, but I was able to get ahold of
Marvin. Marvin informed me they are far from ready to be able
to do analysis in a timely manor and, while that is a definite
future goal, until other aspects of the Center are developed
there will not be any reasonable classification system set up.
So, while this is a goal for the center, it is not now available
to the meteoritic community - and when it will be available is
quite unclear due to uncertainty of when funding will become
available.
The core goal of the center will be to build a permanent repository
and display of meteorites that represent all typologies and preserve
them for all time. When funding is in place, the analysis system will
definitely be a priority and a core component of the center.
Best wishes, Michael

Hi Mark,
I am just wondering how you can "disagree" with a statement
that something MAY be available to people and the suggestion that
they check it out for themselves?
It doesn't sound like you have called Dr. Lauretta at the number
I posted.
Jeez, Mark - it seems like you must have something going on other
than what is on the surface of this information.
I'll give Dr. Lauretta a call myself and let y'all know what he has
to say.
Best wishes, Michael

In Tucson Killgore noted "classified opportunities" during his talk. I
spoke with Killgore after the talk and was told a person would purchase
a
subscription that would allow them so many a year. The price had not
been
established, and if you signed the book in his room you were suppose to
be
notified when such was set up. I don't know about anyone else but I
have
not been notified.
So, I disagree with you Michael in suggesting Martin's (possible?)
services
which we really know nothing about, over Dean's which is cheaper then
NAU's
service (which is now closed to the public).
Clear Skies,
