Hello List, I would love to read the thread on the answer to this! When a
collector asks a lab to study a meteorite they ask you to cut a small piece
off, maybe the size of a thumb nail or so and send it in. Is this correct?
Why do they only need such a small piece?
   OK, why did the Smithsonian need 900lb's of the old woman meteorite for
study?

Thanks, Tom
