[meteorite-list] Timing is Everything

[AL Mitterling]

Hi Kevin and all,

Excellent post! I have long wondered if weathering can play a factor in 
classification scheme, and other vital understanding of events in 
meteorites. I have even wondered if this could result in a false age 
prediction of specimens that have been on the ground (although a 
different animal :-), weathering-aging. Best!

A discussion has risen  about thermaluminesence measuring because it's
possible that terrestrial  weathering can alter the outcome of a 
pre-terrestrial event, changing what  observers think is a most 
primitive 3.0 to a 3.2 or 3.4.
