[meteorite-list] Mike Farmer's New Pallasite

2007-04-16 Thread Robert Woolard
I finally had a chance to see some of the specimens of Mike's new pallasite over the weekend. He truly has some fantastic individuals, and the slices are just beautiful! I've never seen a pallasite that had such a mix, or range, of different-sized olivine crystals. Some are nearly 1 inch wide

David, it has no provisional name yet, that will be done when the classification is done in the next few weeks. We are now waiting on another slice to be made, with interior crystals now that I have found more pieces. The bulk analysis is done, we just need some microprobe time on clean crystals.
