Did you ever get a response to your question on whether aubrites could possibly
come from the Earth? Very interesting thoughts, to be sure, but I believe
Sterling inferred that as a possibility. I also believe his last sentence says
it all, I guess.
As a side note, if aubrites did

Jason,
You were a little bit hasty
Additional information from a Scientific American link that says that
the meteorite is not from Vesta, because the orbit is wrong, and the
oxygen isotopes are different.

And in case you didn't check the met-bull, the Bunburra Rockhole
meteorite has been classified as a typical Eucrite.
He stated that said meteorite is not from Vesta, but Eucrites are
widely accepted to have come from Vesta.
I suppose we don't have solid proof of that yet, but it is generally
Well, oxygen isotopes are one thing, but orbital data would seem to be
a strange way to classify a meteorite to me; given the past four and a
half billion years of collisions, things have been far too 'messed up'
in the inner solar system for that to mean much; we have comets
present in stable

Good point; and seeing as such meteorites haven't been

there are some scientists out there who can shed some light on why
meteorites such as these are called
After all, Ibitira's a Eucrite, but NWA 011's an ungrouped
achondrite. It's the chemical difference that seems to make the
difference in nomenclature.

So Jason,
I guess we can both agree that Bunburra Rockhole is a Eucrite, and
that most Eucrites, but not all, come from Vesta.

I heard of it in February this year.

Hi jason and Mike Fowler,
It's been a privilege to be able to eavesdrop on your discussion on this other
body eucrite. You have been most informative and professional. Thanks!

I don't think there's a difference between any of these meteorites in
terms of what we should call them. We just don't have consistent
terminology in place. Ibitira, NWA 011, and, it appears, Bunburra
Rockhole are all basaltic achondrites that seem to come from a separate
parent body than
