Re: [meteorite-list] R: help me in understand analysis

I am not interested in starting another pairing wars argument. The archive is full of these discussions. In the past, I pointing out those who were self-pairing, piggy-backing and stealing nomenclature from official classifications I was involved with. Many dealers thought they were entitled

Re: [meteorite-list] R: help me in understand analysis

I'm afraid it works the other way round too Adam...you would have to have a piece analysed by an expert to say what you are saying rather than just look at the pieces to see and conclude what they are. Every single piece of my lunar has been to the leading lab specializing in meteorites in the UK

A lot of the garbage being sold as lunar meteorites by so-called reputable dealers will not even pass the fizz test. http://geology.com/minerals/acid-test.shtml Collectors are being fleeced out of thousands of dollars by terrestrial limestone breccias, some of which can be found in the Atlas

Francesco, Just found another reference to Lunar rock 12039 by Bunch (not a meteorite) and I stand corrected. It has a bulk SiO2 of 47.3 % and also Calcalong Creeks bulk chemestry of SiO2 is actually 47.18. So, actually, Well within the Lunar range. I'd get it tested. see link below
