Then it should have it's own classification! If it's 95% metal.
Just my opinion.
Do we classify falls or meteorites?
Seems we loose by classifying falls.

It was bought on the spot from the finders as they lined up to sell the
meteorites.
It is Katol:) Central India is not Morocco with every person having a box of
meteorites to sell.
It is almost completely iron, with perhaps 5% silicates.

Hi Mike and all!
Can't tell by looking at it if it's all metal. If it is predominently metal
(by a large %) and the olivines and such match that of Katol, then this would
be an L-Metal....would it not?

Yes, this piece is oriented heat shield shaped with countless flow lines and
bubbles on the thick backside crust. There are a couple of crystal-rich
sections. It is one of my favorite pieces in my collection, the adventure to
acquire was a little scary.
Laurence Garvie has taken many photos of it, I am sure he has incredible photos
I haven't seen. This photo was the only one I got.
The piece is still at ASU on loan, it will be on display at the Tucson show.
