Hi Greg and List, Wow. When I first saw that link, I thought maybe Michael had made a rare typographical error. That is really an iron? I had no idea that irons could have a fusion crust that thick. And that matrix is almost bizarre to look at. I'm very curious what the final word on this specimen will be. The provisional classification is "iron ungrouped". But that is a rather broad catch-all typing - I'm looking forward to learning more about it. Are there any papers about it in the works?
