I am sure many others had heard= the same thing so if I was wrong for bringing it up, I apologize. =20 Also I would like to add to Mike, that my e-mail was not meant as an atta= ck on you and I did not mean it to come off that way, if it did. There h= ave been many rumors n the NWA482, this one I had heard several times so = I was wondering and what better place to ask then the list? I am going t= o drop all of this, not that I was trying to start anything, for the beni= fit of the list. =20 Now to comment on Frank's e-mail.... "Either that or the broken scale Mark salvaged from the trash last year i= n Tucson" I forgot about that scale. That was funny. A scale of mine broke in Tus= con so we went out and purchased another one locally. During the last we= ekend of the meteorite part of the show, the Arizona Scale Police came by= . Even though the scale was in the trash and broken, it was not an autho= rized scale. So they pulled it out of the trash and put a label on it th= at said among other things, that I could not dispose of the scale. So I = couldn't throw it away legally in Arizona. Figure that one out.

Just so we're clear, there are no >accusations here, only questions. Anyone reading the Meteoritical >Bulletins should be just as perplexed as I. --Rob The website set up by the Hupes, www.lunarrock.com, covers this. The main mass is 312 grams, is owned by the Hupes, and I believe it is still on display at the University of Washington in Seattle. Hope this helps. Incidently, several photos of the meteorite prior to cutting are displaye= d on the above mentioned website. A small window maybe the size of a dime i= s present. Certainly 250 grams was not lost. I suspect the 1278 gram figure Mark alluded to came from the sellers antique postal scale. Guess there a= re sellers weights and buyers weights. Either that or the broken scale Mark salvaged from the trash last year in Tucson was used ;-) Regards, Frank ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ------=_NextPart_001_0000_01C280FB.85630180 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE=3D"font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>Hello List,</D= IV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you Eric for your straight answer. = I am sure many others had heard the same thing so if I was wrong fo= r bringing it up, I apologize. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also I= would like to add to Mike, that my e-mail was not meant as an attack on = you and I did not mean it to come off that way, if it did.
