Are any chondrites and/or achondrites suspected as originating from the same
parent body as any known irons and stony-irons?
Someone mentioned something asking about the possibility of some irons coming
from 4 Vesta in another thread, not too long ago...

Hi Melanie,
Are any chondrites and/or achondrites suspected as originating
from the same parent body as any known irons and stony-irons?
Yes. Winonaites and IAB group irons are suspected as having a
common parent body due to similarities between winonaites and
the silicate inclusions of IAB
Hi,
at present, excepted winonaites with IAB irons, no known group of iron is
connected to a group of achondrite.
The situation is slightly different for mesosiderites and pallasites. The
silicate portion of the mesosiderites is certainly linked to HEDs but the metal
and the silicates are not

Most folks believe that the chondrites are from undifferentiated, unmelted
asteroids. Hence, they would not be expected to have iron cores. That
said, those researchers who believe that asteroids are heated internally
