Hello Bill, The "first" Huss Collection was built within the workings of American Meteorite Laboratory as successor to the American Meteorite Museum (Nininger).
The Second Huss Collection was the personal collection of Glenn and Margaret. I believe it was acquired by NHMV sometime in the 1980's. In the Second Huss Collection of Meteorites (1986), Glenn states that it was started in 1958 and was financed by personal funds. Since the AML was established in 1960, both collections ran in parallel for a period of time.

Years ago I contacted Margaret Huss concerning the disposition of Illinois meteorites from the Huss Collection. She refered me to Ulrich Ott who then suggested I contact Dr. Jutta Zipfel. Dr. Zipfel was so kind and helpful. She had an image made of the Toulon meteorite which is in the MetBull. I wasn't aware there were two Huss collections. I thought the "first" was the remainder of Niningers. Can anyone be more specific? Thanks again, Bill ---------------------------------------- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:15:55 +0200 > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Glenn Huss 2nd meteorite collection > > Well then, > cause something went wrong here and the meteorite section of the Max Planck > Institute (MPI) was closed, > then it should be today in the Nat.Hist.
