Re: AW: WG: [meteorite-list] Classification question

Not gonna happen. The types-1 and -2 designations are archaic, even for carbonaceous chondrites. The problem is that some type 3's are aqueously altered and some type 2's are thermally metamorphosed. This is what happens when you use one digit to signify two variables. Since the type 3.0-6
