Greg,
I was going to send some pics but the posting from Gary Fujihara
directing us to Jeff Kuyken's website does a better job.
What is really interesting is that there are very thin black shock veins
around these clasts indicating that these were introduced into the
matrix after the stones formed.
Mike
P.S. you got PayPal.

Mike Mike, Pete, Bernd...All,
Does anyone have a few close-up photos of these "achondritic" clasts
Mike mentioned?
Thanks!

Pete,
Just a few weeks ago I was speaking with people from the Royal Ontario
Museum and they have material and are hopefully able to do some research
on it soon. There is still high interest in this stuff and I too want
to see some more testing and classification done on it. It would be
great to learn what these very cool achondritic clasts are which abound
throughout NWA1685.
Ian, are you lurking? ;>)
Cheers!
Mike Tettenborn
Also a proud owner of some beautiful BL slices and individuals.

Greetings, List,
I see a recent update as of May 20, 2009 at the Meteoritical
Society's bulletin for NWA 1685, but I don't see any new information
included.
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?code=32385
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?code=32385
Am I reading it right, that it has been submitted for classification
since 2003?!
If so, is this length of time normal? Would it be the examining
institution's discretion for how long it takes to finally put data to
paper for submission to the Meteoritical Society, or is the Met.
Society a bit swamped and behind?
I know that a lot of us have pieces of this gorgeous stone, and are
anxious for the final word.
Best,
Pete
