Hey Just cut a thin slice with inclusion so they will use it to make a thin section and send this second 20g piece as a type specimen.
But I have one question to all who get meteorites classified in big labs. This 20g/20% is a piece from where LAB will cut a slice for thin section to make micro probe analyses. But if I will send them type specimen + one or more thin section, then this "type specimen" still must have 20g/20% or this should be smaller ? -----[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-----[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]----- http://www.Meteoryt.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PolandMET.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 --------[ Member of: Polish Meteoritical Society ]-------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom AKA James Knudson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 7:44 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] classification in and outs? > Hello List, I am going to get a meteorite classified.
