Hi David, What about irons & stony/irons etc? How do they fall into the new category? There are quite a few shales in collections and I'm curious if they would be considered 'relict'.

Since the new category of relict (or fossil) meteorites was adopted by the Nomenclature Committee only this past October, I would imagine there are likely other relict meteorites in our collections which have not been so designated. The definition requires that more than 95% of a meteorite has been replaced by secondary phases since its fall. The meteorite Mills comes to mind as a possibility, but maybe its not quite there yet.
