Such calculations are useful to a first approximation, but there's no
really accurate way to know what the temperature of the parent body was.
It depends on the spin rate, the albedo, and other things that normally

Fantastic job of documentation you did on the

Hi, Elton, List,

very hot compared to the ablative temperature of
a minimum of 3000 C (for slow entry) to 5000, or

analyzed for its magnetic orientation and the reset of

shallow intrusion.

Based on what I can see, and a UofA scientist already
saw one of my pieces, I am pretty sure it is a type 3,
more likely H since the chondrules are mostly quite
small. It has lots of metal, and slickensides and no
matrix, virtually all chondrules and sulfides. Still,
I suppose it could be an L3.

Now this seems to answer an older question, of whether "they" are
rather cold or hot to the touch immediately after arrival on ground zero.
This is empirical with this fall, and may not be a general answer to
the old question, but anyway... :-)
Hello List
I finaly received some new classifications
. NWA 4834 [EUC] - New eucrite, with small TKW, but its beautifull with
black, shiny crust all over the edge.
. NWA 4835 [WIN] - Rare primitive winonaite with relict chondrules. This one
is paired with well known NWA 725, very fresh material.
Wow!!! Thanks for all the info and now the photos of your trip into very
dangerous territory.
Looking forward to hearing more and seeing more pics of your adventure.

Jerry, it is fascinating, but we have talked it for
