The following was provided by MexicoDoug with the prior MPOD: ===On the concern by Australians that the US took the 272 kg of Mundrabilla (today's MPOD specimen) and were deadbeats, offering zero in return. Roy Clark [R.I.P.] told them: "At no point was there any indication that an obligation for exchange material was being assumed by us. In fact it was clearly stated that the specimens were gifts. All of our dealings in this matter have been conducted with the Max Planck Institute [which cut the meteorite for the Australians]"
*"cutting to create this beauty must have involved one big individual !" ==> "The smaller of the two large Mundrabilla masses, weighing 6.1t was shipped to Germany for cutting at the Max Planck Institute ... Eight or nine slab were cut in 1973-1974 each approximately 4-5 cm thick..."=== |
