[meteorite-list] Grimsby Classified H5

Ah. Thanks for the enlightenment, Mike. That's quite commendable.
I would like to think more will be found, but the prospects don't look good, 
considering the effort that's already been made.

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.
