High-grade, profound discussion apart from certain personal disagreements.
There surely is more to it than what just meets the eye, regarding the bottom
line.
Keep on talking, guys. I am discovering valid arguments on both ends of the

Hi Jeff and List,
I agree with most of what you stated in your last post although I believe there
is a real bias among a very few scientists, and certainly a few museums.
Access to planetary material , Angrites and other rare material from NWA is
supposed to be a simple matter of contacting the
nd desirable specimens.
Best Regards,
Adam

I can now report with some authority that the total cost of 30+ years
of collecting by ANSMET has been in the range of $20
million. Considering the record of scientific achievements that has
been built on this collection of 20,000 specimens, I would have to
say it has been a bargain.

Jeff - your statement from below " Also, don't overlook the fact that

than NWA meteorites" is misleading and somewhat biased. Meteorites of the

Make your homework. How many different meteorites do we have from
Antarctica after a third of a century hunting and spending billions of
USD? 7000.
This statement, appearing in some of the recent emails, is wrong. There

If we had taken longer to recover the meteorites, yes, we would have
fewer of them now, but...they're not going anywhere.
Whether I go to a lakebed to hunt tomorrow or ten years from now, that
meteorite will still be there. But if I go tomorrow and pick it up

Hello Greg C. and All,
The self pairing issue comes up at least once a year. I agree that a single
number would be best for all, but there are too many problems with that
model. In the original question Greg C. asked with NWA 1877 as an example,
as one of the original co-owners of the NWA 1877

Zelimir brings up one more case that I didn't cover... when two names
are given to the same physical stone. If the NomCom learns of this and
can be sure that this is what happened, they can abolish one of the names.

Your answer arrived while my post was sent. By

Hi Greg,
This might be a typical question for Jeff Grossman.
I am also continuously puzzled by the abundance
of paired meteorites (thus those that are officially recognized as such).

I think I've answered this before, but again:
Yes, it would be great if all meteorites that fell as a single shower

When a meteorite is found in Kansas or Germany or Mexico, it's fairly
easy to look in databases and catalogs and find all the pos
Good question Greg. I'm curious to see if you'll hear anything other
than crickets in response. ;)
