Is that large inclusion in that pictured slice of NWA2679 schreibersite or

With the recent discussions about the Meteor Crater bolide shape/fragmentation,
and the new irons for sales from NWA. I've been wondering recently about:

include SA ?
2. What were the last 3 to 5 recorded stony-iron

Two great lists to keep as evidence to the rarity of both types. Irons and SI's
are probably both undervalued in many ways. Though rusters are rusters and I
don't want any more of some of them.
As always Bernd, thank you for being there and for answering many of our

I don't know... I don't think so because it would be something linked to

Garren mentioned, I would rather go for the use of iron meteorites to
manufacture tools at the beggining of the 'age of iron'.

Meteoritic irons have been a prized resource for humans for
