This is the official info release of a new iron. I identified this on a West Texas Trip in February 2005. It took a year of negotiating with the rancher before I got my paws on it.
Trip info at http://imca.repetti.net/metinfo/metadventures/west_texas.html The iron masses 42.27 kg. Named the DUMONT (provisional). It is an IVB ataxite. There are less than a dozen IVB irons known. According to Dr Wasson - 16.2% Ni "It belongs to the high-Ir, low-Au, low-Ni subset of group IVB. The other members of this subgroup are Iquique, Tlacotepec, Gallipoli[prov.] and Cape of Good Hope." I'll be in Tucson at Inn Suites room 230. I will have a few slices in Tucson, but not many, I was a putz and didn't get many done in time. -mt IMCA 2760 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
