Hello Again List,

Numbers are now being reserved in blocks. A lot of these serial numbers are
wasted on stones that will never be classified. It is my feeling that if a
number is reserved and a classification is not submitted within 2 years
these numbers should be returned to stock. Some dealers get a number for
every stone and for meteorites they never intend to get classified. They
feel it is better to have 30 main masses rather than just one when marketing
these unclassified meteorites. In my opinion this system needs to be
changed as it is abused greatly.

All the best,

Adam Hupe

> Hello
> From some time I see that f.e. on eBay is offered new NWA with numbers
higher than 3000.
> I'm astonished, becouse I not see for now any NWA with number bigger than
2000 (or maybe
> 2100), so where is that 1000 NWA numbers ? I suppose that many, many
meteorites are still

NWA numbers.
