Hello Mark and List, If I get that right you are talking about several specimens of *1* meteorite - say three Allendes or 4 Odessas that all have the same weight. They may weigh the same but will probably look different (shape, dimensions, presence or absence of fusion crust, etc.). Photographing them with their respective identification labels is one (first) step. Numbering them is also very helpful: Allende-01, Allende-02, Allende-03, etc. I also add short descriptions (i.e., occurrence of chondrules, sizes of chondrules and where they are located or other striking features that help telling them apart like "large, oval, 4 mm chondrule in the lower left part of the slice", five chondrules of equal size forming an arc, etc.). These descriptions and photos are archived on two different computers (notebook + main computer) - both in my Microsoft ACCESS databases, Microssoft WORD documents, and Adobe Photoshop. Maybe some of these ideas are helpful. Best wishes, Bernd Received on Sat 10 Jul 2004 04:53:27 PM PDT |
