www.meteorites.com.au/favourite.html Hi Norm and List, But there *is* something "vaguely resembling those textures" => the Tucson iron! BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 3, p. 1244: "Tucson has no close relatives, neither in structure nor in composition. However, the metallic part of Tucson, in particular, does have many points of resemblance with the metal of N'Goureyma; it appears that the two meteorites have had a comparable story and cooling rate." Jeff, once again my sincere congrats on the acquisition of such an extraordinary piece!!! Happy New Year, Meteorites galore, Happiness, Health, Love, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
