If NWA 1110 is paired with NWA 1068 (and thus should be paired with NWA 1183 as well), I think it is fraudulent to call anything else but these 118g NWA 1110. But wait. Nothing should be called NWA 1110 then. I think that NWA 1110 should have been called NWA 1068 and those 118g should have been added to the TKW of 1068. The damage with NWA numbers has been done already. Noone kept track of that stuff, right? One find may have been sold under 5-8 NWA numbers. And nobody knows for sure. Another example for this mess is NWA 984, right? Or NWA 904. _____ Best regards, Bernhard "Rendelius" Rems CEO RPGDot Network This outgoing mail has been virus-checked. -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Adam Hupe Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 4:29 PM To: MARK BOSTICK Cc: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 1110 issues Hello Mark and List, I am not arguing that all of these fragments may be paired and I am not saying that they did not all come from the same strewnfield. Read my emails more carefully. My problem with others using the NWA 1110 designation is that this number was reserved by us to cover an additional 118 grams (not a single gram more) and that this in the books, is official and final (no more can be added because it is a pairing). Every crumb officially and legally claimed to be NWA 1110 has been imaged, was authenticated by a scientist and submitted to the NomCom for approval. These other pieces being claimed under NWA 1110 have not been authenticated. I would say this makes them different. I assure you Mark this is no act, using proprietary data is nothing short of infringement. What is to stop a crooked or uninformed person from selling terrestrial pebbles as NWA 1110 if there are no standards? What if somebody published your cartoons without first getting your permission? What if they drew a lousy cartoon and claimed you drew it? Using an air abrasion tool to clean up Zag does not make it Amgala.
