Hi Bulletin Watchers,

There has been a feature update to the online Met Bulletin. It now
contains info about meteorites in institutions and collections.

>From the Bulletin :

Repository information expanded (9 Jun 2013)

"Greatly expanded information about type specimen repositories and
other meteorite collections is now available in the Institutions and
Collections section for each meteorite. In 2012, a survey was sent to
each institution holding type specimens listed in the Bulletin. They
supplied information that includes who runs the collection, how to
request samples, and curation policy.

To access this information, look at the detailed information for a
single meteorite. All cited collections and repositories will be
tabulated in the Institutions and Collections section. Click on the
abbreviation for each repository to see the detailed information."

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
