Thanks to everyone who replied both on and off-list regarding the Rumuruti
chondrites and their black inclusions. I will update the my page over the
next week or two with the info.
Thanks again,
Jeff

I have been waiting for a piece of this one for years. A great meteorite.
Cheers,

Hi Bernd, Jerry List,
NWA 3119 is a great meteorite and one of my favourites! I would have to
agree with Bernd's comments that it is probably a type-3 (breccia?). The
problem is that it seems to be a fairly heterogenous meteorite which
probably makes classification very type specimen dependent.
Wow, I was just looking up a meteorite and realised today is the anniversary
of a few falls.
* Cape Girardeau (H6) - Fell 1846 making today the 160th Anniversary.
These two fell just hours apart in 1962:
* Bogou (IAB)
* Sao Jose do Rio Preto (H4)
And of course:
* Mbale (L5/6) - Fell 1992
Odds
Howdy Bernd, Rick all,
Just curious because I recently read somewhere (maybe this list actually but
can't remember) that the CH (or CB?) chondrites may now be the best match to
a cometary origin. I think this was after Deep Impact. Anyone remember or
know more?
Cheers,
Jeff

Howdy,
I just got a piece of the new Norwegian fall and thought I'd make a few
quick observations and pics. Sorry I didin't have time to do it a bit more
in depth but here's what I came up with so far. I'll work on it some more
over the weekend.

Hi Bernd, David and all,
Whatever this meteorite is, it's certainly a very interesting one. Bernd's
description of enigmatic is quite appropriate. Since I have never
personally seen a K-Chondrite, it didn't even cross my mind. But I did some
reading after David's Kakangari suggestion and must say
