[meteorite-list] Grimsby Classified H5

[Mike Bandli]

Hi Linton,

Though it lists Michael Farmer as the holder, all of the stones, including
ours, are being held in Canada. No export permits will be applied for (that
I know of). With the low total recovered weight, unprecedented recovery
efforts, and it being the most documented fireball in history, we don't see
any scenario of them ever leaving Canada. It is our hope that our stone
eventually finds its way into a Canadian museum or institution.

Cool. Thanks Mike.
So it's still a relatively low TKW, at 215g (I've always assumed "Mass" and 
TKW to be equivalent).
One thing I don't understand, though. How can Michael Farmer be listed as 
the main mass holder already, with the Canadian export permit requirements? 
( Not that I mind.) Has it been long enough already for an export permit to 
be issued? Or is the Met Bull just assuming that it will be eventually? It's

only been a couple months. I'm just thinking of the export delay with 
Buzzard Coulee, which I'd love to see available in Tucson, by the way.
Linton
