Hello List,

One major problem with a mercurian origin of NWA 011 is probably
its density. If its specific gravity is in the vicinity of 3.03 � 0.06 (i.e.
the density of the Juvinas eucrite), it is not dense enough. Mercury's
mean density is about 5.4 g/cm^3 (which, by the way, is also too high
for the enstatite chondrites whose density is 3.4-3.7 g/cm^3).

Best wishes,

Bernd
