Cool! I just saw a report on the Cloudy Nights forum that probably
corresponds to the TX/LA event below.
I sent him your link, Dirk.
Watch for Falling Rocks!

Hello Listers
I have a question about the Nininger meteorite collection.
I have seen some of the meteorites with numbers only and some with numbers and
letters, why is that
I am assuming 1a or 1 would be the first meteorite inducted into his
collection. Does this

Carl,
I completely agree.
Not being intimately involved in the process, I will offer what may be
considered a simplistic fix, but one I hope one that is taken to heart.
I see two broad categories of meteorites from a classification perspective:
standard and unusual.
If a stone is analyzed b

Yep,
the NWA 5435 is no problem, TKW is 444g, this is olivine rich, this is a
brachinite, for sure (look on my ebay sales ;-) !
theNWA 6435 is the diogenite. When the entry will be fix, TKW will be 237g, as
reported on the template sent to the NomCom (forwarded to me, I can send it
uppon req
Of course I'm referring to NWA 5435 in the MetBull!
No, I agree this is very confusing! Another reason to do away with
"Provisonals". There are so many that will never get classified -- a
waste of time in my opinion.

Mendy,
Not to meddle in other people's classifications, but to me the
geochemistry and mineralogy does look like a brachinite and not a
diogenite.

Hi Mendy and List,
You inquired:
"Can someone please clarify why this is listed as a Brachinite instead of
diogenite? Based on the composition being 90% olivine, should this not
be listed as a dunitic diogenite?"
Because igneous-textured brachinites are olivine-rich rocks (79-93 vol% olivine
Was there any hunting around the area to look for other pieces from
the fall?

Well, there was quite some excitement among meteorite aficionados
in Germany, but it's true that even in the German media this fall was almost
not covered.
It's good to have witnessed another German fall after more than a decade.
It's unfortunate though that it shattered severely on impact.
