Since the iron was found with other fresh Katol stony pieces and some of the
stony matrix is clearly visible on the outside of the iron, I see no reason
to even consider cutting it to get a separate name. That is one nice thing
of the iron being collected within a couple days of the fall, and well
before any rains came along to oxidize and/or discolor the portion of matric
on the iron. I think the few irons should be mentioned in the Official Katol
classification, clearly they are 'pop-outs' from the Katol mass.
...just my 2 Rupees worth...

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

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.
