Different. A slash means it was classified as being transitional
between the two types, H4 and H5. A hyphen means it is a breccia of
H4 through H5 lithologies.

Good day all.
I have perhaps a very dumb question that I haven't been able to find the
answer to.
When the Met Bul shows the classification of a meteorite, it sometimes uses
the notation X/Y or X-Y. For example you may have a meteorite classified as
H4/5 or H4-5. Are these two classifications the same or different. If
different, how so?
Thanks,
Dave
