List,   Curious if anyone knows of more information on the NWA1685 (BL) meteorite.  Anyone know if a classification has been established and by whom?   I did a magnet test and my 3 pieces are less strongly attracted to a magnet than DAG785 or Sahara 98175 or Bensour all of which are LL's.  S

This may or may not be one.  I think I can see a chondrule or two but the picture is not the best and there is no polished surface.   If you are interested then ask the seller if it is classified.    Cheers,   Mike Tettenborn - Original Message - From: John Divelbiss To:

Steve,   Troilite is the mineral iron-sulphide.  I would guess that sulphur and iron mixed in sections of iron meteorites as the material was cooling and formed these pockets.  Perhaps someone more learned on the list could explain better.  Not much in R.F.S. or The Encylopedia or Met. & T.

I agree with Matteo. I do believe I see chondrules in the milky matrix. It would be great to see an image of a polished section and, better yet, a thin section. The crust does not appear too thick. I have pieces of zag with crust that might be as thick. Cheers, Mike Tettenborn - Original

Steve,   Before you do anything else.  I mean anything!  Get Richard Norton's book "Rocks from Space" and read it.  It is the bible for meteorite enthusiasts.  Easy to read and still very comprehensive.   Once you have enjoyed that book then you can graduate to the other great texts out ther

Yes, they are priceless but a price would be reached if they were put on Ebay or placed for sale in one of the many fine meteorites sites on the net. For argument sake I would guess that these lunar fragments would fetch in the order of 10 to 50 x's what lunar meteorites would fetch. We can find

Steve,   I checked the list and your IMCA number is not listed.   Are you sure that you have been removed or have you been omitted from the list by mistake?  I would think that a IMCA member would be advised in advance of being removed to ensure that the member's side of things is also heard

Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't one have to wait until the classification is published by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society before anyone can say for sure what the official name is?    Mike Tettenborn Owen Sound, Ontario - Original Message - From:
