Hi Mike, List,
I would agree they look identical, but the differences under the microscope
tell a lot more. I think it is different and believe it to be most likely an
H3.
Best regards,
Greg

Looks pretty darned identical to me, in every photo!
I do not think it is paired, because Amgala has dried
up for some years.

Dear List Members and meteorite fall detectives,
I received my "Mali" chondrites today and made some
observations. I cut a
stone each of Amgala, Bassikounou and this new
"Mali" stone and polished the
faces. I can say for certain the new material is NOT
Bassikounou. "Mali" has
much more chondrules than Bassikounou. I do not
think it is Amgala either
because "Mali" does not appear to be brecciated like
Amgala. It certainly is
not Zag. I think we have a new one here, now
hopefully some eye witnesses
will be found. Maybe our French friends are already
on this??
Here are some photos for your own comparison:

Let me know what you think.
