Hello Dave and List, A 6.1 g stone was found by P. Gessler while he was searching for meteorites on Bluewing Flat. Classification and analysis (P. Warren, UCLA): subophitic texture; pyroxene grains are mostly <1 mm and zoned from En67.5Wo4.8 to En6Wo25 to En3Wo15; plagioclase is zoned from An89 to An75, average An82; minor and trace phases include silica, ilmenite, phosphate, fayalite, K-feldspar, metal and troilite; bulk composition is similar to Stannern and Bouvante. See also Warren and Gessler (2001). Specimens: type specimen, 1.15 g, UCLA; main mass, Gessler. Best wishes for a safe, propserous and Happy 2005, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
