In the early 1990's, taking the advice of a populist TV astromomer, I lined
an overturned plastic rubbush LID with white plastic, filled it with clean
water, and left it, balanced on some cinder blocks, on the lawn overnight at
the height of the Perseids.

I agree that meteor showers may be able to produce meteorites. A few
showers are of asteroidal origin (the Geminids being the largest), and
cometary material may indeed be sturdy enough to make it to the ground
(something like CCs, for instance). Evidence from recent comet probes

Hi all,
Dave mentioned a "distinct format." One of the things I do with my
cards is to have my name appear between the meteorite name and the
rest of the information. The reason I do this is becasue I was tired
of receiving specimens that came with an original specimen lable
except the dealer name
This is going to be one of my more thoughtful and
intellectual contributions with a serious question

Of course there's a link to enter your personal info to make any changes.
Anybody else get one of these emails?

Good day Folks,
Over the years I have received hundreds of different meteorite specimen cards
and certificates. The great variety added to the charm of the collection
and, whether the card was on copy paper or card stock, it was appreciated.

Hi,
I am totally guilty of bad labelling - I love to get labels with my space
rocks but I rarely do my own - mainly because I can't find a distinctive
format, nice heavy paper labels and because I am damned lazy and I guess
that I do not put any importance on my own ownership/provenance on my piece
Sorry, but this sounds like a symptom...

Hmm, I understand,
most professional dealers will add that kind of information, simply because
it makes a piece more covetable.

Hi Listoids
Yep - ID Cardz

There are many well respected and reputable dealers who don't provide any card

At the southern end of Madagascar lie four enormous wedge-shaped sediment

Each covers twice the area of Manhattan with sediment as deep as the Chrysler

Hello All,
For those interested, the log from the 18th does have some high quality
photos of the 'meteorite.'
And I'd have to say that it certainly looks promising, at the very least.

Well Martin, that was just a proposal, based on what is shown on the ID cards I
send with meteorites, and they are about 7cm x 3.5cm, which is not that big...
I also have another type that is about 7.5cm x 6cm, a bit bigger because I add
a picture on this type.
But once again, it was a suggestion
Hi All,
David does make a good point. However, I believe it is the quality of
the specimen, not the thickness of the card, that makes a good
meteoritical addition to a collection. I know that is not what David

Hello Mark and List,

Hummm Frederic,
I think it's a little bit impolite to hand over to the collector an
ID-plank, instead of an ID-card.
How should one place such much information on a card, which is little larger
than 1 or 2 matchbooks?
I think the very rudimentary data are sufficient,
almost each collector knows
Hi,
I guess that most of us are open to standardize meteorites' ID cards but I
think that the main stage would be to standardize the
information that should be stated on such cards, when available of course.
The material that the card is made of is another issue and if we want to

information is being lost when meteorite cards where either not passed

I remember when dealers used to give ID cards that were actually made
