This one confuses me.
We had a large fight and discussion just last week, where the Hupes and Dr
Jeff Grossman said that pairings must be made scientifically and when the
nomenclature committee denote a number for a meteorite, it is for that
meteorite that the number is reserved, no others.
NWA 1929 was my meteorite, and it was a single individual.
I had it classified by Dr Bunch.
It now seems that people are selling other meteorites under my number,
including the Hupes? How is this possible? Complete individuals? Then they
have not been cut.
Why the double standard? How does anyone know these uncut meteorites are NWA
1929? Why were they all suddenly found a year after I bought NWA 1929 in
Morocco?
I am a little confused about this, if other meteorites can not be paired as
stated by the Hupes so adamantly, then how is NWA 1929 immune to the same
treatment?
This is not directed at Adam, he is just the one who last week had a huge
fight with Bob Evans over this, and now it seems that other people are going
to town with my meteorite number.
Anyone care to tell me how all of these meteorites are no NWA 1929?
