	Tholins UARK 90N2 10CH4		0.06		60 mg of tholins #2 were scratched from the surface of the two glass sections that were located in the sputterig machine for tholin genesis. In addition, the Spectralon used in the 2014 experiment was also located in the sputtering machine and collecting additional matter. That matter was stuck to the Spectralon and could not be weighted. The total mass of tholins #2 used in the 2014 experiment is 60 mg - granular matter loss during transfer to the surface of Spectralon + unweighted mass of matter deposited on Spectralon.
