Good afternoon everyone,
Some members have expressed yesterday their displeasure in the recent threads
about alien life and movie/TV
trivia. Well, here're your chance to discuss meteorites. Several weeks ago I
had asked about silicated Campos.
There was only one reply (Thanks again, Joe K.). It could have been because the
question was too easy to
deserve an answer or maybe no one knew. Perhaps my questioning sounded like
so much gibberish and so the post was automatically ignored and deleted. I've
reprinted my post below. Let me rephrase my question. What are the
differences/similarities between mesosiderites and silicated irons? There's not
much info in the web that I can find.

Doesn't matter at this point whether or not they are Campos (I remember reading
somewhere they were found several hundred miles away), it's just a name anyway,
but to my untrained eye they look more like mesos. Also, is the Toluca (b)(?)
formed the same way?
