fragments and told you that, by eye-balling them, they were consistent with the one or two which had actually been micro-probed. If this is the scenerio, then techinally speaking I don't think you can really acertain whether the un-analyzed fragments are truely paired to the analyzed fragments anymore than other dealers (or planetary scientists) can claim that the fragments they purchased from moroccan suppliers are paired to the official NWA 1110 without micro probe analysis.
AFIK to be considered paired samples also need to have CRE age determined as well - without this it's a 'provisonal' pairing
I have to agree with this one. if you dont have gps and collection data for each fragment collected how can a scientist give a visual once over to the fragments and determine they are all the same nwa number, when in any other case you need microprobe AND CRE data to confirm a pairing?
sounds like the mother of all double standards to me.
