Carl and List, Carl has plaintively asked: Are we witnessing the demise of the collector market for meteorites here? Am I really reading that a certain Scientist's word is not good enough for some collectors now? Am I really reading that O isotopes are now needed to prove pairings for the

Wow - this is making my head spin.  It is my understanding that the O isotope data is necessary to show the relationship to the early earth-type rocks; it has to fall on the TFL.  I would think this is necessary to prove a pairing to NWA 5400.  Until then, it is not 100% certain.  The fact

Carl, this particular extraordinary meteorite, NWA5400, is unique BECAUSE of the TFL O-analysis. This has sounded the beckoning call for exta-ordinary analysis from the position of SCIENTIFIC value, not $$ collector value. This is where the distinction is stark. We will/should-be sure to
