Its in our interest to help correct every error. There are alot of
meteorites so its natural that there will be any of them.

But I reflect about other thing. NWA 2921 is NOT paired with NWA 3146, 2289,
..........., becouse NAU checked this for possible pairings or its not
paired becouse they not checked it for pairings ? Becouse this can be
interpreted in 2 different ways.
Lets see my NWA2698 Howardite. Its material that is paired with many other
NWAs, including "the father" NWA1929. But If I will send it to lets say,
Russian Lab I will get unpaired meteorite becouse they dont have comparison
material. Also NAU can't technicaly (I think) compare every Howardite to
many many others for possible pairings.
My specimen is paired, becouse I say to Ted, to compare it with NWA1929,
becouse Im was sure that it was the same material.

So "unpaired meteorite" can't alvays mean that it is unpaired, but only that
it was not classified as paired.
If Im wrong, correct me.
