Almost all CKs are type 4-6; all CVs are type 3. The few CK3s seem to be

Alan,
Thanks, you just saved me from a savaging by reviewers of my paper
still "in prep"! I guess CK 'precursor' is a safer term than 'parent
body'? Or are we calling it the CV-CK parent body? (with the UCLA good
housekeeping seal of approval). I'm happy with just melting a CV, I
used to do that a
Carl mentioned "a CK parent body." I doubt that there is such a thing. In
a recent paper, the UCLA folks suggested that CKs were just metamorphosed
CVs. I wrote a column in Meteorite about that not too long ago as well. If
this is correct then a CK parent body would really likely be a CV-CK
Great find, Sonny, congrats! Have you made any efforts to reassemble
the mass? I love a good puzzle.

Are there any scientists currently working on this meteorite? Is

lucky enough to have a crusted

Hi Listees,
Can someone elaborate on why NWA 7325 and it's possible pairings are

originated from Mercury, but that is only speculation at this point.
One can speculate anything. Heck, it might be from Alpha Centauri.
