This seems close to touching on my plan: drill holes in meteorite specimens and
epoxy in place a plutonium pacemaker battery and voice chip which, every 5
second, declares aloud the name of the meteorite (and possibly fall date or
peterological type-- I haven't worked out all the details yet.)

I need to get to work on that patent application...

2010-03-21 Thread countdeiro
Thank you John, for posting the superb pictures. Very interesting to see these 
old specimens and how they were identified. I, for one, would be interested 
in what medium, or technique, was used to mark them and if it was permanent. 
Kind of looks like it lasts, as these may have been labeled over a hundred and 
twenty five years ago.

Count, List,

The natural history museum in Vienna displays at least two irons with their
names on their etched faces.  Here are shots of them.  I believe that if the
Bella Roca is the main mass, the museum had acquired it by 1895.  To me it
looks like an etching resist was applied before the acid then removed.
There are collectors and dealers with ties to the museum who could look into
the history and mechanics of the process if enough of us were interested.

I don't know how that unattractive marking was put on that etched slab, but
I'll bet it will come off. Then you'd have a nice specimen at a pretty fair
price. I saw this piece, or another butchered up one for sale several months
back. These look like what you would find at a roadside tourist trap along
with the chain saw carved squirrels and t-shirts.

Now if he'd just put the weight, location found, and other pertinent

I think one of the old methods was to polish, write the name in 
paraffin, etch, then remove the paraffin.
