Hello Jamie, hello Bernd, dear list members, Bernd is absolutely right again - Norton was certainly refering to ALH 84025, a primitive achondrite that has been classified as a brachinite subsequently. If it had been accepted as a chassignite we would have some very happy list members today since Michael Cottingham's new brachinite NWA 595 seems to be quite similar to the antarctic ALH 84025. Nevertheless, NWA 595 is a rarity when you consider that there are only seven distinct brachinites up to date.
Kind regards, Norbert Classen ----- Original Message ----- Also, on page 208 of Richard Norton's Rocks >From Space (revised and updated), he says there are two Chassignites, one that was found in Antarctica. This must be a mistake right? I know it was also mentioned in the first addition as well on page 209.
