[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - Over 300 new Antarctics

[Jim Wooddell]

Hi Dr. Agee!

I sent you a private email about this and agreed 135%.

I thought about this more and I changed my mind.  I agree 150%, with one 
exception!

Rather than "more interesting", I'd change that to "all".

I would go as far as saying no pictures, no approval.  But I doubt my one 
vote would mean much!

Without any doubt in my mind, relevant pictures would raise the bar by 
magnitudes.  For example a micrograph
of the thin section that was tested and described or the micrograph of an 
iron that was described

For a prefect example.....  How are you going to describe, in words, this 
beauty (I just don't think words can describe it)....
