Hi Jeff and all! I'd say XRF data can and does vary. Not enough info in the write up on testing methods. What is the accepted procedure agreed to using XRF to test? BIG QUESTION! Read on! A few years ago, XRF seemed to not be considered much in this community. Only a few were using it

Hi Mike and all! I have not seen Katol, except for your sample. Am I assuming correctly that your high iron specimen is what is mentioned in the write-up? If it is, does this mean your specimen is not representative of the others? The way I read it, it is not. What do the other samples look

There are many variations in Katol, some pieces were almost achondrite-like shiny glossy crust, some were more chondritic looking, others were all or partial iron. I know of 5 complete iron pieces. It is not heterogenous. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On Jan 1, 2014, at 5:27 PM, Jim
