Hello Kevin,

There are also 1-inch ones that NASA uses. The typical ones used in the
collector community are 1cm square.

The N,S,E,W,T,B are directional references for photographing specimens.
T=Top, B=Bottom, N=North, E=East...so on. What I typically do before I cut
something rare is to choose a side of the stone that I want as the 'Top' and
'North'(usually first image towards camera) I then turn the stone 90 degrees
in one direction along with the cube turned same way. If you want an image
of the bottom of the item, flip it over and flip the cube over the same way.
A little hard to describe in words, but I hope I explained it well enough.

Best Regards,
Greg

>> Hi List,
>>
>> I would like to congratulate Todd Parker on his new Arizona chondrite
>> discovery. I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry
>> Atkins
>> recently in the Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting on a hill
>> taking a water break with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a very excited
>> Todd on the other end. We could see him down below us, so we quickly
>> rushed over to see what he had found. We saw a beautiful chondrite in
>> situ. Todd was recording his find and preparing to take a photograph when
>> Brix ran up and gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick. Todd was the first
>> one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and only) one to lick
>> it!
>> : ) It is a 30-40 gram chondrite with fusion crust and visible metal
>> flakes on on the broken end. It looks like Lawrence may have another
>> meteorite to classify from Arizona. Congratulations Todd!
