Re: [meteorite-list] NWA's and Catalogue of Meteorites

[Michael Farmer]

The book was published before the NWA started, that is why none are listed there. As for the CR2, yes they are paired. They all come from near Zagora and many numbers have been given to them. Mike Farmer But there are several CR2 meteorites that are not paired. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Wozniak To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 7:56 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA's and Catalogue of Meteorites I have two questions that I have been meaning to ask the list for a while now.   First question: I like to use my new reference "Catalogue of Meteorites" by Monica Grady to zero in on what is known of particular meteorites. I am aware of the section in the back listing Sahara's and subgroups Acfer, Dar al Gani etc., but what happened to all the NWA's? There must be a thousand of them that seem to be unaccounted for.   Second question: I have two CR2's, one NWA 801 and one NWA 852. They look like the same meteorite in all respects and I believe come from the same location. Are these considered paired? Does any one know if their are any distinguishing characteristics between the two or does either one have more value than the other for some reason.   Thanks, Lance Wozniak
