This meteorite (Nwa 3098) looks a lot like some material I have...NWA 1774. NWA 1774 R3.8 - 6 (not R5) 714 g TKW Found 2002 I have some NWA 1774 and a thin section for sale if anyone is interested.

[meteorite-list] Rumurutite Kakangarite
Hi All, in Munich I bought a book and a slice of NWA 1906 (from PolandMet) an R4. Today I search for the Rumurutite on the book and I found two strange things: Stony Un-Differentiated Meteorites : Enstatite Ordinary Carbonaceous Rumurutiite Kakangari Found in Antarctica, Achondrite-Rare: Kakangari Rumurutite Whi on the classification page the R and K meteorite are Chondrite and just 6 pages after them become Achondrite ?? Maybe I misunderstood something?? Thanks Ciao Francesco Moser __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

But you can't have it all and I have purchased too many meteorites lately, so this one will have to wait. Among my recent additions are a beautiful slice of Dhofar 979, this is a unique ureilite (Mike Farmer's desert find - an exquisite honeycomb meteorite), another ureilite, NWA 3140 (a primitive ureilite) that I got in a trade for another meteorite that means much more to someone else than to me, and two gorgeous slices of Forestburg (a) and Forestburg (b) from Michael Cottingham. Best wishes and good night. It is late here (01:00 hrs a.m.) and my lady wants me and my son-in-law to tile the entrance stairway this morning :-( Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
