 Hi all,Meteorites have been of great interest to me and they tell a fascinating story of our solar systems history as you all know.
As this debate has continued for so long, ?it is a concern to me that some attitudes border on hoarding While others seem to border on worship.
This is reminiscent of the extremes that have developed in the field of vertebrate paleontology, especially regarding dinosaur fossils. Universities and museums have become so extreme that they Advanced laws which were passed, which now make it illegal for a private citizen to collect even a fragment of a dinosaur bone on all public lands.There are countless individual bones on public lands which have no scientific value and will never be researched. Yet there are those in Authority who would rather have these turn to dust then end up in a private collection.
There are thousands of Gibeon slices across this country which will never be researched, but they have incalculable value to individuals who appreciate the natural world and allows them to look back with imagination and awe to a reality long past.
Let's continue to move forward together in our common interest which hopefully will continue to be available to all.
Have an impactful day,?DAN?

 John,
I accept that meteorites have to be cut to study the matrix, and re-cut so more experts can study it, and cut even smaller in thin-sections to be studied some more. And I accept that pieces go to collectors for safe keeping and preservation. But I don?t like meteorites being sliced and diced and minced into tiny crumbs that are not even recognizable.
As for spheres, skulls, rings, ??and over knick-knacks, No. It is adding insult to injury.?

What does this mean?-- "personally would prefer a good sculpted, well sized Gibeon individual in as found condition. Together with an etched endcut"So it is okay to have an individual of a meteorite and Slice into it for Your etched endcut. Think about it, ya'll are agreeing to to Cut it Your way--but noother. Still confused?????----- Original Message ----- From: Mattias B?rmann via Meteorite-listTo: Deborah Anne Martin ; Meteorite-listSent: Thursday, September 13, 2018 5:43 PMSubject: Re: [meteorite-list] Skull Carved Out of an Iron MeteoriteLadies and Gentlemen,well, this is of course not a work of art. Amazing craftmanship - yes (if it's not a product of a 3 D printer, of course ^^)One might call this object obsessive, even idiotic. Nevertheless, the shape of the skull is a perfect sculpture of itself, and I don't hesitate finding it fascinating to follow the Widmanstaetten patterns and their transformations through the utmost complexe sculptural landscape of volumes, depressions ...I agree, the imaginati
on of the wasted material makes depressive.Conclusion? I personally would prefer a good sculpted, well sized Gibeon individual in as found condition. Together with an etched endcut.
