Hi Mike, all,
Those H-melts almost seem like they are only partially classified. Most
IMB usually have a petrologic grade associated with them as there is often a
part of the meteorite that isn't completely melted.
For example; NWA 7626 mentioned in the new updates says: The chondritic
portion shows an unequilibrated texture This makes me think it should
be something like H3-IMB or H4-IMB etc. Same principle for NWA 7627 which
also mentions a Chondritic portion.
H-IMB are not that rare. Adam Bates' NWA 7534 is a beautiful and very recent
example of one such meteorite. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/281079330057)
Gao, Chergach and DHO 010 are other H examples that immediately spring to
mind.
Cheers,
Jeff
