Hi, at present, excepted winonaites with IAB irons, no known group of iron is connected to a group of achondrite.
The situation is slightly different for mesosiderites and pallasites. The silicate portion of the mesosiderites is certainly linked to HEDs but the metal and the silicates are not genetically linked. Concerning pallasites, they have been considered to be linked with IIIAB irons, but that's really unlikely (see the recent paper in PSRD by Scott...). Again, it is unlikely that the large impact basin in Vesta displays the core of the body... cheers Jean-Alix Selon Melanie Matthews <[email protected]>: > Are any chondrites and/or achondrites suspected as originating from the same > parent body as any known irons and stony-irons? > > > Someone mentioned something asking about the possibility of some irons coming > from 4 Vesta in another thread, not too long ago... > > > Cheers > > ----------- > -Melanie > IMCA: 2975 > eBay: metmel2775 > Known on SkyRock Cafe as SpaceCollector09 > > I eat, sleep and breath meteorites 24/7. > > > > > ______________________________________________ > Visit the Archives at > http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html > Meteorite-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
