[meteorite-list] metal-rich diogenite vs mesosiderite-C

2004-09-17 Thread David Weir
Hello Jörn, Since nobody in the know has answered your ponderings yet, I think I'll add my take on this circumstance. I followed the progress of analysis of NWA 1827 because I had seen the piece that Nelson had acquired and I thought it had a unique and interesting appearance. The preliminary

Joern and David, In my first inquiry this week I mentioned NWA 1882 (not 1982 that Joern and David touched on) as being the same material. It is my belief that NWA 1882 is the same material as NWA 1827/1879. Stefan Ralew, who sold 1882 to me, also believes it to be the same. NWA 1882 was not

Hello all, I see there is an Ebay auction today for a metal-rich diogenite for about $30/g. I thought with the last go around with NWA 1827, 1879 and 1882 that a metal rich diogenite did not exist and that these were all classified as MES-C's that sell for about $10 to $25/g, depending on the

John, According to the scientists at NAU (Wittke, Bunch), this is a metal-rich diogenite and not a meso. Check out their nice website: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wittke/Microprobe/Probe.html Click on NAU Meteorite Classifications and then on the diogenite section and scroll to the bottom to read

John They're nothing alike. One is a mesosiderite with abundant opx inclusions, and the other is a diogenite with an abundance of free metal. (plus I believe whatever NAU says :) David __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
