List,

When stumbling across an ad for NWA4024 I saw pictures of the meteorite and immediately thought how similar it looks to Udei Station. Comparing the pics of NWA4024 and my slices of Udei Station reveal very similar compositions. However, NWA4024 is classiifed as a winonite where as Udei Station is classified as an IAB iron.

Further research shows that it is likely Udei Station and other IAB irons along with Winonites come from the same parent body. My question is, what is the dividing line between Winonites and IAB's? How does one decide which group the meteorite should fall? Is it %Fe?

Thanks for any help and

Cheers!

Mike Tettenborn
