Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.
No Larry, There actually is a problem. John's "opinion" is a common misconception that I even held until I personally learned of this recent trend. This is a concern that others have shared with me, and has prompted me to write on this subject in three separate articles, which essentially said, "Hey, here are some US chondrites that need to be classified." Still haven't received any offers. My request still stands. I would like to hear from people with recent experience in this area that can point me in the direction of a cheap classifier that still accepts small, ordinary chondrites. I suspect when I find one it will be outside the US. Bob V. On Tue, 9/15/15, Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list wrote: Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.

I'd love to see a photo also, but I live in Philadelphia so I won't be seeing this in person. :-) That aside, I'm assuming from your post that this is a "chondrite" native to the USA, and not just another NWA. I have about 25 NWA's undergoing classification now, and I have more I'd like to get classified but it is indeed hard to find a lab that will work on NWAs that look like obvious OCs. I think that is a mistake on their part, because there are so many unique things to be found in meteorites. In my opinion, many labs would think differently about a "native" US chondrite, than an NWA chondrite. I do not think you will have trouble finding a home for it if it is a USA find.

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.
Like all the others say, it is real hard to get classified nowadays. I can get it verified with an XRF gun, and I am a local Vegas resident.

Re: [meteorite-list] Local to Las Vegas expert needed to rewiew a find.
I agree with Michael. I frequently get similar requests from people needing their "chondrite" authenticated and "placed into the system". Not much of a problem getting their stone identified, but the owners are becoming more and more dismayed by the increasing difficulty finding someone to classify a chondrite, not to mention the expense. The second part of that request is getting harder and harder to guarantee to a prospective client. Hey Elton, if you get lucky and find a benefactor that can get " a stone into the system" on the cheap, then please share that with me. I've got a long line of orphaned OCs that need to be classified, and to go into the MetBull Database. Bob V.
