Hi all, In my opinion Sergey's label website is becoming the one stop shop for meteorite labelling info. I highly recommend taking a look if you have not seen it before. http://labels.sv-meteorites.com/ Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From: Stuart McDaniel actionshoot...@carolina.rr.com To: Chris Spratt cspr...@islandnet.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Catalogue cards..

Re: [meteorite-list] Catalogue cards..
Hi, I believe Sergey's label website is similar, if not based on, the Mineralogical Record's Label Archive which has been around for years. It does not address meteorite labels separately, but then again it has entries for Charles Upham Shepard and Krantz. For example it has several labels that Charles Upham Shepard used over the years, mainly for minerals, but possibly for meteorites as well. If you want to see the website go to: http://www.minrec.org/labelarchive.asp If you go to the top of the page, there is a drop down box where you can choose a mineral collector and pull up the biography and specimens of sample labels. If you go to the bottom of the page, there is a link which will take you to an introduction to collecting mineral labels, and another link which will take you to a list of label donors and sources. So I would recommend that collectors interested in the history and collection of labels take a look at both Sergey's website as well as the Mineralogical Record website.

[meteorite-list] Catalogue cards..
Hello Collectors! I would like to print out some 5X8 cards to make a catalogue of my personal collection. Question is, how do some of you reference, label or otherwise keep track of your collection. I had thought making an information card with pertinent information and room on one side to print a wallet size photo, all done on matte photo paper. What info do you include and do you have a basic form you like to follow? Ideas? Thanks!!

Chris wrote: I put mine on my computer alphabetically. Hi Chris, Dennis, and List, Just like Chris, I put my meteorites in my computer databases alphabetically: Name, type, weight, dimensions, description [which includes shock and weathering degrees, total known weight descriptive details (slice, part slice, thin section, personal descriptive notes, special features, Met.Bull. info, etc.), provenance/source], price (in my case Euro currency). Here's an example: Allende (01)*, CV3.2, 161.3 gr, 6.7x4.7x3.7 cm, individual with 50 % crust and numerous small chondrules protruding through the matrix and coated with a thin layer of secondary fusion crust. Purchased from...** Belongs to the oxidized subgroup: high magnetite/metal ratio in its chondrules and high Ni content of its metal in chondrules and inclusions. The dominant sulfide phase is pentlandite. Price: ...** * (01) = no. 1 of 10 Allende specimens in my collection ** Source and price omitted in this post for obvious reasons. Of course, I also take pictures of my meteorites and my thin sections and add pertinent info (see: online Encyclopedia of Meteorites for some examples). A selection of the above-mentioned details is also to be found on the labels that I glue onto the dividers of my collection boxes. Here's a thin section example (database entry): Gold Basin-d (16a), L4-6; br., thin section d from one of ...'s and ...'s finds. Gift from .. Forsteritic chondrule measures 1.8 x 1.7 mm. Polysomatic chondrule with several sets of parallel olivine bars displays triangular orientation and measures 2.6 x 2.0 mm. A large elongated POP aggregate consists of abundant small crystals and measures approximately 3.4 x 2.0 mm. Large vivid purplish blue olivine crystal (0.8 x 0.7 mm) is in direct contact with an orange-yellow pyroxene crystal (0.7 x 0.5 mm). And, again, a photo (or photos) also exist.
