Hi Greg,

>This is a very exciting meteorite, every day reveals just a little bit
more... What other meteorite has the honor of being used to calibrate
systems to be used on a spacecraft destined to return samples from an
asteroid? :)

I know they will be using a couple different Carbonaceous meteorites
also for the calibration including Moapa Valley CM1 and Murchison.

Hey all,I think Jeff stated it pretty clearly as far as the speed of
the name approval. I believe that this week, or even next, is the
deadline for abstracts to be submitted for the August conference in
Australia, and that is why the name was approved so quickly with a
'placeholder' classification. I have seen this happen several times in
the past. It does help the scientists get the info out in the next
conference with an officially approved name, but it does lead to
confusion in the initial MetBull entry. I think everyone needs to
remember, as Jeff has stated a few times, that work is still under way
by many labs around the world, and that the initial 'class' info will
be defined as the abstracts and other future analysis proceeds.This is
a very exciting meteorite, every day reveals just a little bit more...
What other meteorite has the honor of being used to calibrate systems
to be used on a spacecraft destined to return samples from an asteroid?

[meteorite-list] SUTTER'S MILL in MetBullHi Jeff and List,I think the
speedy approval and publication is a great service to themeteorite
community as a whole (science and laypeople alike), becauseit provides
authoritative data during an event that is stillunfolding, and this
might help prevent some misunderstandings ormisinformation that could
have resulted without a publishedclassification. Great job on getting
it done quick. :)On the other hand, I am a bit puzzled by the
temporary "place-holder"type of "C - Carbonaceous". I understand what
it means and why it wasselected. However, this seems unusual for an
approval that ispublished in the database. We don't see this very
often. In thepast, the release of an approved classification was
usually withhelduntil a more definitive conclusion was reached on the
petrologic type.In other words, we don't see too many of these
"placeholder"classification types. Am I wrong, or did Sutter's Mill
merit thisbecause of it's important and unusual nature?Best
regards,MikeG--
