Hi Christian,
I would like to make a few points here.
You wrote "I bought it as a possible R-Chondrite directly from Morocco."
I do not remember when the Moroccan dealers became scientists. They will say
anything to make a sale.
I personally would not put anything in my collection that was not classified
and mark it as something I saw in a picture. Did you visually pair your
stone to Adam's R-chondrite, NWA 3146?
This shows the importance of supplying a proper type sample and getting the
material classified. You simply can not use a photo to classify by. If you
had your material marked as an R-chondrite in your collection and it turned
out to be a CO, wouldn't be that worth the extra effort and expense to have
it classified properly?
I have emailed Dr. Bunch in regards to all of this to get his input and
confirmation as to the classification. I do not doubt his work.
I think any further communications should be made in private emails where
this should have originated.
Best regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
take a look at this one:
www.austromet.com/collection/NWA_Anger_238_162g_A.jpg
www.austromet.com/collection/NWA_Anger_238_162g_B.jpg
I bought it as a possible R-Chondrite drirectly from Morocco.
I cut and polished it and is in my private collection.
I will send my 20 grams for classification in the next weeks.
It does not even attract to a rare earth magnet and it has tiny spots
of troilite. A CO3 usually has good magnetism.
What's your opinion on this one ?
Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian and List,
I wondered the same thing when I got the classification back from NAU. Dr.
Bunch says CO3.5.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Greg

Hi Greg ,
are you sure that this is a pic of a CO3.5 ?
It looks like the Rumurutiite NWA 3146
sorry for my doubts, but I think the picture link maybe mixed up (?),
Cheers,
Christian

Dear List Members,
I would like to announce a new CO3.5. It is NWA 2921.
Here is a link to a picture of a 7.2 gram complete slice:
