I have started to add photos and sometimes graphs or figures for
exceptional samples to MetBull classifications. I agree that photos of
garden variety equilibrated OCs might not be that interesting, but
sometimes they are. For me it is no extra work to post photos since I
always have microprobe BSE images and smartphone photos of the deposit
sample. I certainly agree that added value to the MetBull is a plus.
