Hello Tom and list, Just came in from the family reunion and see this post so I figure I would answer it. NWA1139 is mine, or was mine if the auction ended. It is uncut and has been only submitted for a number by me. I list about 250-300 auctions on eBay a week, sometimes more. Because of this I use a like description for every auction and change out what needs to be changed. I am sure this is how other people do it to. Since it is uncut I can not see the matrix and therefore did make an error. The high bidder asked me in my chat site about it and I told him it was uncut. If you are wanting to talk about the term "main mass", I think you can find that information in our archives. I am kind of on the fence on that subject. The numbering of meteorites has worked well for inventory purpose in other regions then Africa. The problem of Africa meteorites is more the large numbers that has been found. Why this is a problem is beyond me. You can see in the Meteoritical Archives here that the number was given to me for an individual. However, I am kind of surprized you e-mailed the list and asked about it. You have e-mailed me 60-80 times or more about other things. Will talk more about others things tonight. If anyone has any question about this meteorite, feel free to e-mail. Mark Bostick
