To everybody interested & involved, 
 
most of you already know that Meteoritical Bulletin N° 90 is out. The 
data base of the Bulletin has also been updated and we are happy to 
announce that the latest meteorite from Brazil, the beautiful 
unequilibrated Santa Vitoria do Palmar meteorite (L3), finally has 
become official. 
 
Most of you will still remember the arguments on this list that 
accompanied the first news of the discoveries in Brazil. Only those who 
submitted meteorites themselves to the Meteoritical Society can imagine 
the relief the official status will bring. I can only encourage 
everybody to choose this long and sometimes winding road by submitting 
samples and complete find data to a classifying lab. Each piece of 
information will contribute to the knowledge transfer to coming 
generations. 
 
Our honoured list member Larry Lebofsky, chief editor of Meteorite 
Magazine, was so kind to consider the publication of the complete story 
of the discoveries and the analysis of the Santa Vitoria do Palmar 
meteorite in the coming November issue. So everybody watch out for the 
coming issue and get a subscription if you aren't a subscriber yet. 
 
We still keep three large slices of the SVdP meteorite, 600gm 175gm and 
145gm respectively, each with both, the shock-blackened and the light 
coloured unaltered lithology. We will gladly deal with requests of 
scientific institutions or public collections to enable further studies 
on this exceptional meteorite. Please contact us for more information. 
 
I would like to thank everybody involved, especially Dr. Ansgar 
Greshake for his thorough classification as well as the finder Senor 
Correia and the curator of the Museo Municipal Cel. Tancredo F. de 
Mello, Brazil, Senor Monzon, for their countless contributions. 
 
Best regards 
 
Svend Buhl
