Hi all, This is Tom Phillips (New to the list). I'm the guy that takes the meteorite micrographs for a hobby. I have nearly 100 kilo of this EL3/EL6/7/Aubrite and I couldn't help notice the controversy. It's hard to change quick when other pairings are still being called something else. I have sent samples to Ted Bunch (not self paired) of both color types and my understanding, at the moment is, all the material, brown and blue/gray is from the same find. The different color types have just undergone differences in terrestrialization. Just as a note: random lots of this material came to me in an approximate 90% brown, 10% blue/gray. This ratio may hold true but I have been told that the early shipments were mostly brown because (at first) it was collected on the surface (Mostly!). Now that it is being dug up, the % of blue/gray collected, MAY go up. I'm in no was an expert, this is just my current understanding. Can I post micrographs to the list? Tom
