Subject: [meteorite-list] Acapulcoites and NWA 725
I'm must be missing something. What could one conclude by comparing thin
sections of NWA 725
Hmm-ing again :-)
"The winonaites are texturally similar to acapulcoites, but the winonaites
contain coarser grains and abundant crosscutting metal-sulfide veins."
Could this by a typo because:
Marvin's pic of the Acapulco thin section shows grains that are coarser
than the ones of NWA 1054 ...

Matteo, thank you for the link. An interesting detail with regard to NWA 725's
status as a winonaite or an acapulcoite might be this conclusion by the authors
at the end of the paper:
"... the Cr2O3 contents of high-Ca pyroxenes, (1.56 - 1

Hmm ?!?
Just noticed something contradictory:

As for NWA 725, here are the details as Stan shared them with me:
Recent O-isotopic analysis of a probable paired stone...by the Open
University resolves the material clearly within the winonaite field.
