This sort of pairing question is not really the domain of the NomCom. It has to be worked out in the literature. Once the meteorites are announced, which these now are, we do not consider publication of supplemental information like pairings. The exception would be if somebody wanted to apply for a "formal" pairing of another stone to these two, under our new guideline. But that can't happen for NWA's like these because they lack geographic information.

That said, I have to disagree with Adam... the two descriptions are extremely similar to each other.

My problem is that there is still disagreement in regards to NWA 1839 being
paired to NWA 3133.  The original classifying institution, the University of
Washington has not made any pairing statements for consideration by the
NomCom.

In the latest Bulletin
the descriptions are completely different from one another so there is even
more confusion.
