I agree with Steve Bernd! I must say that I also agree with Bernd regarding NWA 5507. It's definitely one of my favourite Type-3 chondrites.

[meteorite-list] Could we get back to the science of meteorites, please ?
Hello all, I usually stay away from these protracted discussions and am quite happy to lurk on the list. A lot of good, qualified people discussing a topic I truly enjoy: meteorites. Now, I am not interested in sparring with anyone. I just published an article in the Montreal Gazette debunking UFOs; you could substitute UFOS for anything else in the ever widening field of pseudoscience and my article would remain essentially the same. So anyone eager for my views can readily look the article up. However, my computer has recently been invaded by an avalanche of emails from this list that has *nothing* to do with meteorites or science. The basic problem is that pseudoscience is like a religion; no amount of science will ever convince its proponents. So I usually don't bother; ignorance is bliss, as they say. So those who believe in dowsing, divining rods and whatever other contraption, feel free to search with them. Think you can find meteorites, gold, diamonds, water, Jimmy Hoffa with a stick ? Go for it ! That is your business; I'm just not interested. So, could we get back to the science of meteorites, please ?

Re: [meteorite-list] Could we get back to the science of meteorites, please ?
List:
Last year I purchased a meteorite at a rock and mineral show a because it just
looked a little different from most chondrites I have seen. The seller did not
know where it was found so I got the provisional name NOVA 010. The exterior
almost looked like an Iron or a Stony-Iron and it contained a lot of metal.
The metal also looked a little different - more globular then most H-chondrites
I've seen. I thought it might be a CH or an EH chondrite. Well I got it
classified and it turned out to be a reduced H4 with numbers very similar to
the Burnwell fall in KY., although it's even more reduced.
NOVA 010
W2 S3, olivine Fa 14.4 ±0.5 (n=7); low-Ca pyroxene Fs13.7 ±0.6, Wo0.6 ±0.3
(n=11)
Now here's Burnwell
W0(fall) S3, olivine Fa 15.8 ±0.2 (n=79); low-Ca pyroxene Fs13.4 ±0.7, Wo0.7
±0.2 (n=98)
So you never know what you have until it gets classified.
