Re: [meteorite-list] SALE: BUR-ABOR, AN INCOMPARABLE METEORITE SPECIMEN – MAIN MASS

Aside from the term "unwitnessed fall" the other issue is that in the auction description it has a fall date. The term "unwitnessed fall" should be changed to "find" and the fall date should be removed. [image: image.png] On Wed, May 19, 2021 at 8:18 AM Darryl Pitt via Meteorite-list <

There is no body that is legally recognized. Also, with all the diversity in meteorites and the way the whole hobby/business is set up it would be impossible for there to be a body like that and for the hobby to continue in its current state. Diamonds are an example of something that the industry

I guess I am just not understanding how the word "certificate' is misrepresenting anything. I am not sure where the text you copied came from or how it relates, but the word certificate is appropriate when a specific entity is formally stating something. In this case, the seller is "certifying"

That makes sense. Maybe it is an American thing. I am used to the word certificate being used much more loosely. There are certificates of ownership, certificates of completion,, certificates of awards, and certificates of many other things. It is just a word used to mean that the document

Alfredo, You can call a certificate of authenticity a "marketing tool" but at the same time I feel it is as good of a description as any of what it is, and it does have a function. When you say that "in many cases they are printed by the seller" that, to me, is the main point of them. They are

2023-03-20 Thread Mark Lyon via Meteorite-list
That's surprising that there would be a record in 1933. I figured new technology, rising populations, and an increase in meteorite hunters would mean that there were more witnessed falls more recently than 90 years ago. Have the number of witnessed falls per year tended to be significantly higher
