Hello Al, This is Georgetown (iron), it used to be classified as a IIICD. Certainly a rare type. But in 2008 it was re-classified as a IAB-ungroup by John Wasson. There are 47 of those on the Met.Bulletin. Not quite so rare. Still, very interesting looking, and Yes, I do have a nice slice available.

Most iron meteorites are highly differentiated and don't hold the clues that pristine undifferentiated specimens do. Perhaps the author(s) was in need of asking questions so they could have been less vague in the article. They did say one of 5 specimens but didn't say what it was. Oh well. --AL Mitterling On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 10:59 PM, AL Mitorling <mittme...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi List, Doesn't sound like they know too much about this iron meteorite or meteoritics from the article.
