The museum is apparently still under development and doesn't seem to have a website as yet, but it will be located in the 34 mile-diameter Charlevoix, Quebec impact structure located about 105 km N of Quebec City.?A summary inventory listing of the? specimens in this collection is stll posted on our website.? Futrell's tektite/meteorite library and files also went with the estate collection. While he was yet living, Futrell? sold/donated a substantial collection of important pieces to the Corning Museum of Glass. Hardly any of the estate collection had the painted labels that Paul correctly tabulated below.? Possibly this was due to a progression to almost total blindness in his final years.? I have often imagined him holding and exploring his final remaining much-loved pieces by touch--- Cheers, Norm www.TektiteSource.com ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Harris <paul at meteorite.com> To: MikeG <meteoritemike at gmail.com>; meteorite-list <Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Mon, August 13, 2012 5:32:13 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Darryl Futrell (+) (also, question about Futrell Collection) Hi Mike and List, Yes those are Futrell specimens.?
