in the Royal Society's peer-reviewed history of science journal, Notes &
Records of the Royal Society.
I just learned today that it was on the top

I see no connontation of toilet humour, or scatological inference in the use of
the word "butt". This word has been in use for centuries in the Anglo Saxon
tongue and dialects... see...(noun)Rifle Butt...the end of the shoulder stock

Hi List,
I agree, the word "core" is much better than "polished butt". :)

Dear List,
I am looking for someone that owns or has access to the following journal
for some meteorite research:
The Mineralogical Magazine, Volume 28, No. 204 (1949)
If someone would be willing to either scan or photocopy a specific article
for me, I would be very grateful and will reward you
No toilet humor here.
It is a chunk of meteorite encased in epoxy, polished, and from which
thin-sections are cut.
I prefer to call them "cores".
Less possibility of misunderstanding.

The end cut of a stone or the cut off piece in thin section making.

I've added a couple of new entries.

This may be off topic but ,check out slide number 32. It looks like one of Tom

Too bad we don't get to see it with crossed nicols.
