Hello Matteo, hello List, In the latest issue of our METEORITE magazine, you'll find an article by Matteo (pictures courtesy of Franceso) about the Sinnai chondrite (Sardinia) that fell on February 19, 1956 in the early morning hours. It seems it is an H6 chondrite but could be anything: an H4, H4-5, H5, H5-6, or an H6 chondrite. My assumption is based on its Fa18 value, which is all we find in the literature.
Reference: CHINELLATO M. (2007) The Sinnai Meteorite (Meteorite, Feb 2007, Vol.13, No. 1, pp.30-31). Well, Matteo, is anything going on, will it be re-analyzed, did you advise the local authorities to have it re-analyzed? If not, will you consider doing so? In this article you conclude: "From the analytical results, one comes to the conclusion that the Sinnai meteorite is an H6 chondrite even though the analysis, occurring a long time ago in 1956, could stand to be repeated now with more modern methods." Inquiring minds ;-) Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
