[meteorite-list] [!! SPAM] Durability of provenance

[Ingo Herkstroeter]

Hi Paul!

In my opinion: Yes, of course! You can give an additional information to the
label you create for your collection (or for sale) and provide the sample
you want to give away with a copy of the original label you/or/and Joe got
from the MNH NY. The proof of the origin and history of the piece are well
documented in this case and that's, what is important.

Cheers!

Hello All.

Here's a question that's been rolling around in my mind for quite a while.

Suppose you purchase a 50g meteorite from Joe Dealer and Joe supplies
information that the specimen is "ex Museum of Natural History, New York."

Then, suppose you cut it in half.

Are either of the pieces, or both, considered to be "ex Museum of Natural
History, New York?"

Cheers.
