Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION- Al Mahbas
I submitted the Al Mahbas pallasite to Ted Bunch many years ago, like so many other meteorites that I submitted type specimens for, it vanished. I went to the strewn field and found pieces myself, there is a story about it on my website. It came out later under several different nwa numbers. should be called al mahbas as I confirmed the location by finding pieces myself before being chased away by Algerian border guards. Sadly a nice and very rare pallasite was dumped into the nwa batch names.

Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION- Al Mahbas
NWA 2683 is provisonal but the pallasites are real! Since its been 6.5 years, strange that it has not yet been classified.
