Okay, so now that I have 31 bits of space rock and 1 impact breccia and
I am working on putting together my little database, I find that while
many dealers usually at least provide weights, they don't always have
dimensions (good to know so that I can figure out what size display
cases or membrane boxes I need to get)...
And then of course, I have several UNWAs that were a hodge podge so they
didn't really have anything!
So, what is the recommended scale to use for measuring the mass??
I could go very cheap and simple on measuring the dimensions, but was
wondering if there was a recommendation for any particular caliper or
similar instrument??
I did search the Met List archive but nothing popped up for caliper
except in the use of displaying meteorites...
Clear Skies!
