I signed a list to be notified when they got things going as I stated and have not been notified. We have discussed Marvin's possible classification service on the list a couple times and have not gotten a response from him. But yes, checking out Marvin's services can't hurt. Although I would think it is Marvin's job to let us know his door is open rather then for someone like me to check on it. And I did call the center a couple months ago and never heard back, so I hope you have better luck with your call. I think the University of Arizona Southwest Meteorite Center might be a great thing.....and I was not one of those that questioned it in Tucson, although several others were. The guests they brought to your auction is a great example of what the Meteorite Center can do. I look forward to seeing what role they will play for our community. But I would still suggest using the cheapest service so far advertised (Dean's), over a service that had not explained itself. You will not see me sending anyone to a service that has not explained the fees involved and the service rendered. Now if they do make their prices much lower then everyone else and get a fast turnaround, I will likely change tunes.
