Apparantly I didn't read the entire thread carefully enough. Mike, with the
picture you posted of the oriented iron, can we see silicates clearly?

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] KATOL (L6) is official
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.
