G'day Joe & all,
Metal is not always a good indication of what a meteorite may be. I've
personally found that after seeing thousands of meteorites and images over
the years that the most useful indication is often chondrule size and
general appearance.
I haven't seen the new fall in person like yourself so I could only guess
but I think it might be classified as an L5 S5 or something like that. I
don't think a type-6 would be appropriate given that some pieces do appear
to have defined chondrules. But then again depending on the type-sample it
could end up something like L4-6 or L5-6 too.
Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: [meteorite-list] What meteorite resemble the new WI
meteorite.Supuhee sure does..
Hello listees,
After looking thru some old topics on the SkyRock cafe I found a link to
the Supuhee H6, It look much like the new WI meteorite, after looking at
this one:
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?sea=Supuhee&sfor=names&ants=&falls=&valids=&stype=contains&lrec=50&map=ge&browse=&country=All&srt=name&categ=All&mblist=All&rect=&phot=&snew=0&pnt=Normal%20table&code=23760
I think it is going to be classified as an H6, even though I was told
by somebody involved in the classification it is not an H. I cant see it
being an L with all the metal in it, some of the slices I had/had have
globs of metal in them.
Does anybody have any Supuhee photos? This is the only one I have been
able to find, it looks a whole lot like the ??Iowa-Grant?? meteorite.
Does anyone else know of any other meteorites that resemble the WI
meteorite? I would love to see photos.
Here is a nice image that looks a lot like the New meteorite
Best Wishes,
Joe Kerchner
