No way Felix is 3.2. Jones and Scott (1990) had it at 3.2, but more recent data show it to be significantly higher. Kainsaz is a solid 3.2, and all properties of Felix show it to be more equilibrated than Kainsaz. Data on TL (Sears) and on amoeboid olivine inclusions (Chizmadia) show Felix to be more like 3.3-3.4. My own studies of matrix in CO's support 3.4 for Felix. So, call it 3.3/3.4.
