Hi Ed, Svend, Jason, all,
Very good points indeed and interesting reading. Theres a lot to chew
over there but looks like i may be taking the plunge and starting the
process at some point.
Thanks very much for all your considered and informative replies

G'day all,
I have just listed a couple of auctions this week. The first is the lunar
Tungsten Carbide Scale Cube WC#0482 with a sample of NWA 482 to match the
serial.

The second auction is for the 288g Main Mass of NWA 5978
Hello,
I would like to disagree with everyone here. If we all start painting numbers
on meteorites, in 2-3 generations, all specimens will be full of useless
graffiti - who will know which number matches which minor collection? So the
problem would remain exactly the same. When I say minor, I
Hello Arnaud,

I should clarify my comments on labeling specimens of meteorites, fossils or
artifacts. At this
Hello Arnaud, All,
I agree with you - to an extent.
While we have inked many of our specimens, we have never sold a single
meteorite (and the few we've traded were never marked).
With so many collectors buying, selling, and trading collection
pieces, I can easily visualize the numbering situation
I would tend to agree with Arnaud and I don't think everyone painting their
own numbers is a good idea... at all!
It would seem that identity is the driving factor here and the only way it
would work is if there was a standard system. You would only need one common
number for each meteorite.
Hello Jeff,
Yes - hence I said unless, of course, there is a
universal system off of which numbers can be derived.
But that's not going to happen.
It won't happen.
We already have a numbering system for our collection, and it's not
changing. And every other university and museum has its own
Hi All,
Thanks Martin for bringing up this subject...very interesting to see what the
general consensus is.
Arnaud...I agree that we would not want lots of numbers covering historical
stones...but I don't think that would happen. If you had a stone with a Huss or
any other number then there

Hi Jeff
A universal system sounds a great idea. Infact in many ways all the NWA
numbers, Sahara etc could be used as is, with extra numbers for 'named'
meteorites.

Hi List,
I can't recall exactly how old most CAI's are. I know they were
formed a few million years before chondrules, but does anyone have a
more precise age for these? I think it was around 4.6+ billion years,
give or take a few minutes?

Hi Al all,
the relationship between Nininger, LaPaz and Leonard is quite well depicted
in that more recent article by H.Plotkin R.S.Clarke Jr:

What we see from our historic angle of view is a story of missed chances.

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd throw in my two cents on this interesting topic. First, painting
numbers on a meteorite for identification purposes is only good if you have a
master sheet that translates that number into a specific meteorite. If that
sheet is lost the painted number is useless.
I
Hi Jim and List,
I used a Dremel tool to carefully carve and identification number into
all of my specimens. I put the name of the specimen, date, origin,
type, what I paid for it, catalogue number, and 5 things I like about
it using only adjectives. All of this information is carved in
letters
Me too,
as a professional I'm aware of the rareness of meteoritic specimens,
sometimes they are unique and irreplaceable - and I'm aware of the often
enormous endeavours it took, to recover such stones and the circumstances
until they finally landed in my custody (yes also for the

You can also drill a hole into it and insert a chip like they use for pet
identification. Then epoxy over it. :)

I'm not sure if anyone else remembers this, but there were some
Muonionalusta etched slices on eBay about a year ago. They had the word

across. On the other side, they had something like 67°46'N, 23°15'E... this

Hi Noah and List,
LOL, yes I recall those slices. There were some others that had
abstract shapes on them. It looked like someone masked or taped off
the design and then etched the face.
And yes, they were hideous. LOL
