topic: grading system for orientation
just trying to get things started off here.
i don't believe there should be 10-grades of orientation, as was
suggested, as it seems too broad and results in a situation that is
similar to the one before us: the too-liberal invocation of the
term.
, and
hopefully we can emerge with something quantifiable through the
process...
Thanks,
Dave

Great suggestions, Darryl. I would go even a little less complicated and
suggest a 3 number rating system. Here are some quick, nut-shell definitions:
O3 - Completely oriented: Obvious and conclusive evidence that the meteorite
stabilized during entire flight.
O2 - Partially Oriented: Evidence
Great Idea,
We have weathering grades and this should be just as simple.
Im currently busy w/ business at my desk but will add my thoughts regarding the
parameters of grading later today.
This seems long overdue to me.

has to do with it's original shape of the rock before the fireball (or as it
broke apart in flight). Some rocks are just destined to look better (more
