Re: [meteorite-list] Is there a Main Mass list?

Re: [meteorite-list] TISSINT OFFER TO RESEARCHERS / Re: Chris Herd talking about the Tissint meteorite - NPR 'Science Friday'

PS: I think a research discount for Tissint like what Darryl proposed is a welcome gesture. Some research groups want to have their own permanent specimens, substantial in quantity, and archival. In such cases it makes sense to purchase. When we loan material it is exactly that, on loan, and so
