[meteorite-list] "Must See" Meteorite Collections

[Brian Cox]

I wanted to mention that since this is only a portion of  The Field's 
collection that is available online at this time since it is
outdated from the time this was put into PDF file format, and now they have 
added the famous DuPont Collection from the
famous James M. DuPont of Watchung, New Jersey, which includes 1,700
meteorites from The Planetary Studies Foundation of Galena, Illinois, and
this has been added to The Fields existing collection of over 2,000
meteorites which is now at The Field in storage. Even in a museum as large 
as The Field they don't have room to display all of the items at any one 
time. Actually they have told me that  90% of their collections are in 
storage. It will probably take them a couple of years to get the added 1,700 
online.

Thanks,

Brian Cox
