Very nice presentation...


And it sparked a question:

 Museums / collectors "glue" labels onto their rocks (or used to) - What glue is used? and what are the ramifications for alteration to the rock. (thinking back to the discussion of putties for holding meteorites a week or so ago.)

Likewise, for the paint and ink method... a> what was traditionally used? and b> effect on the rock. (which should be obvious once the paint is indicated :-) )

Thanks!

Last week members of the British and Irish Meteorite Society (BIMS, http://www.bimsociety.org ) visited the Manchester Museum.

I've written an article about the visit including lots of images and information on the history, people and specimens involved. You can view the article directly at http://www.bimsociety.org/article-manchester.shtml

Enjoy!

Matt.
