Yeah, I agree with that one, how many of us have paid over large sums
for material, only to get a slice in a plastic bag with no origin info
what so ever!?

What we need, is a standard meteorite record card with the history of
the specimen on it, (and if the rock gets cut, the card gets copied and
the new owner/info gets added to it). Certainly with Lunar and Martian
stuff, it might be a good idea.. at least it could be traced almost
back to the original finder/purchaser.

(and it used to be called a 'LABEL' in my day.. :)



Best
