Dear All,
Just watched a piece on The BBC News about the donation.
It was shown being placed in an MRI Scanner, searching for possible trapped
gasses.
Also shown was an auctioneer from one of the big houses in The UK. He was
asked to value it, but didn't actually do it, instead said that mete

Congratulations to The Natural History Museum on a fine acquisition. I am
pleased to see that a large piece of Tissint (pronounced like peasant with a
"T" instead of a "P") will be preserved and displayed publicly. Thank you,
Caroline for clarifying the museum's position on falls/finds from this
It is great to see that major museums are setting politics aside and waking up
to the fact that most of the world's best specimens are coming out of NWA these
days.
