[meteorite-list] Baking a fresh meteorite

[Marco Langbroek]

hello,

Bill Allen of the A/CC website (www.hohmanntransfer.com) is sollliciting
some comments on the advice apparently given to the New Zealand
meteorite-through-roof owners, to bake their meteorite at 100C.

Is there some opinion on this: could it be harmfull, or on the contrary is
it a wise thing to do indeed?

I must admitt I had never heard of such a suggestion before.

I believe someone already mentioned it could destroy halite crystals?

- Marco
