Subject: [meteorite-list] Samples
Hello Listies,
Maybe someone can answer this for me.
Where did the 20% value come from to classify a meteorite? If a meteorite
were found
that, say , was 1.2 grams, unpaired with anything else, then the sample
must needs be
.24 grams, if I've figured right. This is a very significant portion of
the meteorite.
Then on the other hand should one be found that was 1 ton, the sample
would be 400
pounds. If a classification can be done with .24 gram, why can't it be
done with a much
smaller piece of the 1 ton meteorite?
Just learning here, please bear with me.
Thanks,
Pete
