Betreff: [meteorite-list] Glenn Huss

Hello Friends

I wonder if anyone on the list can help me with some information about the
famous collector Glenn Huss. I have been working on the collection recently
and came across a specimen which we have now discovered is linked to the
collection of Glenn Huss by dint of having a Huss Catalogue Number on the
specimen . It is a specimen of the Wellman meteorite and was purchase from
the mineral dealer David New of Montana in 1977 as part of a larger
consignment which also included two other meteorites (Wiluna and Allende) as
well as several mineral specimens. The Catalogue of Meteorites (CoM) lists
five Wellman entries (a,b,c,d and e) I was wondering which one ours could
fit into. It is clearly an H type chondrite but whether it is H4 or H5 I
can't really tell. I wondered if the catalogue of the Huss collection exists
somewhere and wondered if I could match up the Huss number on our specimen
with the register number in the catalogue. I am also keen to add any
additional information into our own database here. All replies will be
gratefully received.

PS Notice I have resisted talking about the death of Margaret Thatcher
(oops!)

Cheers
