[meteorite-list] Meteoritical Bulletin Main Mass photos

[Marcin Cimala - POLANDMET]

Hello list
I see there is only discusion about Pictures of the day :) Is this list dead 
?
Come to the Facebook peoples, it dont bite. Meteorite group, Polandmet 
Meteorites group and many other very valuable groups with alot info about 
meteorites and thousand of users.

I have started in Meteorites group discusion that every new classification 
should include few photos of specimen. Not in Encyclopedia of Meteorites but 
reference photos submited with classification and provided by specimen/main 
mass holder.

When Im sending type specimen to the lab I also need to send them few photos 
of entire mass wirth scale cube and also photo of cut surface, slice. This 
will give every meteorite his "face", idea what is NWA 12123214 and if slice 
I just bough look like reference photo.

Every time there is Met Bull update there are many rare specimens but they 
stay only as number. Sometimes we can find them on ebay or search name in 
Google we can find specimens in someone website. But this really should look 
like that ? We have 2020, every morocan in the desert have now smartphone 
with high quality camera. I get their photos every hour. Photos of 
incredible specimen. But they can be seen only by few of us. Why not for 
everyone and forever? Most dealers who submit big ammount of specimens in 
Met Bull sell online so it is not a problem to require some representative 
photos of specimen or the biggest mass. You dont have good camera ? Whats 
the problem? You can find 10 friends with Canon, Nikon or new Iphone to 
prepare requested pictures the same as You collect all requested 
informations about Your specimen like date of find, TKW, place of find etc.

I realy dont see a problem. This need only some discusion and some good will
