Hi Moni, wasn't there a type-guessing contest for Santa Fe in April on the list? Has anyone recorded the bets?

This is really a fantastic looking meteorite. Now could it be an iron-ung? Or why not? I just saw for the first time that such classification exists. Actually it looks a little like Barbianello. But of course I still have much to learn! The recommended classification Iron-ung means according to the met.bulletin "An iron meteorite that does not fit into any of the established chemical groups." The highlighted words are defined as follows: Iron meteorite: A meteorite that is dominantly composed of Fe-Ni metal and that crystallized from a melt. http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbullclass.php?sea=Iron-ung http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?sea=Iron-ung&sfor=types&stype=exac t With very best regards, Moni >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [meteorite-list] Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - July 18, >2007 >Date: 18 Jul 2007 21:19:11 UT > >http://www.spacerocksinc.com/July_18_2007.html > >Anita enthusiastically wrote: > >Wow!
