Re: [meteorite-list] Tafassasset
I have a small slice of this meteorite in my collection. It has to be one of the weirdest meteorites I have yet looked at, and I suspect it may require a classification all its own. It is so remelted, recrystallized and deformed I find it hard to believe it may be related to the CR type, yet I still can find a couple of relict chondrules in my piece.

[meteorite-list] Tafassasset
Hello, Last night I posted this, but I don't think it made it through, so here it is again. (And if it did get posted, I am sorry I repeat myself). __ Hello Members, Only a few weeks ago, some of you asked if the controversy around Tafassasset had been resolved. I was reading the latest "Meteorite" and in the NEWS article "Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting", I found the following statement: "The unusual Niger meteorite Tafassasset was discussed by Jutta Zipfel, who suggested it is surely related to the CR chondrites, but has been severely metamorphosed and partly melted". Does that help answer the question? Anne Black IMCA #2356 www.IMPACTIKA.com e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [meteorite-list] Interesting breccias
My guess for the first one is an L5/6 breccia with carbon inclusions. W=1 S=2 As for the second, also an L breccia. L3/6 W=1 S=2. This one is gorgeous! Cheers, Mike Tettenborn Owen Sound, Ontario P.S. Viewing these unclassified meteorites and guessing their classifications is a blast.

Re: [meteorite-list] Interesting breccias
Matt, LL3.5, and L5 or LL5 (would say 6 but I see a number of nice chondrules in it too). Very nice material.
