So that is not the error.

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 2620 - name discrepancy solved?
[Resending reply -- first attempt did not post. --Rob]
Hi Adam, Mike and List,
NWA 2620 will be published in the very next bulletin as an H4, Main Mass Hupe Collection. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Why is so hard to understand?
Simple repetition of your position doesn't do anything to help solve the discrepancy. Clearly there's a mistake somewhere. Who's to say whether the mistake (which may be just a typo) is NAU's fault or Ted Bunch's?
I have no involvement with NWA 2620, but I can read. And based on today's posts I have a good guess as to what happened. Note the sequence in Mike's repost of Ted's message:
Email dated 12 December 2004 "Mike: below and attached are the classifications that I can do for now. Have a good trip.
Ted
NWA 2620 (F5)
Yellowish-green to brown, friable olivine diogenite. with orthopyroxene grains ... <snip>
NWA 2631 (F7)
H5: Fa19.2; S1 W1
NWA 2632 (F8)
LL3.2: Fa1.1-37.4; (Cr2O3 = 0.15-0.37; mean = 0.33 wt %); S1 W1.
NWA 2633 (F9)
CO3.1: Fa 7.7 � 44.2 (Cr2O3 = 0.05-0.34 wt %); S1 W2 contains many small CAI inclusions. ...
(The message goes on to list classifications for NWA 2634 & 2635)
Doesn't it seem quite likely that 2620 was a typo, and that 2630 was intended? Kind of coincidental to have a gap of exactly 10 numbers for an otherwise contiguous sequence. The 2 is right next to the 3 on the keyboard -- an innocent enough mistake.

--ADDENDUM--
Another possibility is that there is a 0 vs. 9 typo (again, adjacent numbers on the keyboard). I like this idea even better since it would explain the missing F6 in the sequence:
2629 (F5) [2630 (F6) not yet classified?] 2631 (F7) 2632 (F8) 2633 (F9) 2634 (F10) 2635 (F11) ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
