Anne,

Just took a look.  Fantastic!

I hope others in the meteorite community follow suit.  I have seen some
dealers who do mention provenance for samples from museums, but I don't
recall ever seeing a catalog or list that has entries for other than museum
sources.

Although there is obviously a great deal of work involved for the dealers,
it should have some advantages as well.  It should certainly highlight those
specimens with excellent provenance, as well as cut down on questions from
collectors who often present dealers with questions that can be time
consuming.

Again, a fantastic effort and a practical positive step in addressing the
provenance issue.

Thanks!

Mark Grossman
