[meteorite-list] Clarification? ...Prospectors, Scientists Vie for Rocks More Precious Than Gold (Meteorites)

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Martin and list,

Martin wrote, trying to figure out what the Center is: "The only difference 
to the situation before would be, that the University of Arizona will add on 
its capacity to classify meteorites. And that from now on, if someone wants 
to have classified his/her meteorite in only a few weeks, it will be for 
free. That's an improvement."

During Killgore's talk at the Micheal Blood auction, he mentioned there 
would be "classification opportunities."  So after the talk, I asked Dante 
and Marvin, "What does "classification opportunities mean?"

>From their answer, to get meteorites classified through the center, you will 
have to join a subscription like service.  That you would pay a certain fee 
and it would allow you to get so many stones classified.  Numbers were not 
worked out at the time.

Clear Skies,
