Hi Greg and all,
I would not suggest another name nor would I suggest it's a different
fall. However I would suggest a numbering schema that maybe followed a
find sequence. Katol 001, Katol 005, etc.
I say that because if stuff is never studied...ie classified....we just
will never know what it's make up is. And, that can and does apply to
any strewn field.
So, everything becomes opinion and guesswork. Lazy science.

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...
Best Regards,
Greg
