Hi all, I would rather suggest that Glanggang and Selakopi from Indonesia are fragments of one and the same meteorite, i.e. one fall not two. See below paper, from the ADS service:
Authors: Fredriksson K. and Peretsman G.S. title: Glanggang and Selakopi - Two new paired Indonesian chondrites Abstract: "The Indonesian meteorites Selakopi, and H-5 chondrite, and Glanggang, a breccia with H-6 fragments in an H-5 chondritic matrix, were recovered on the same day from sites only 50 km apart. The textures and compositions of Selakopi and the H-5 portion of Glanggang are very similar, indicating that they are closely related. The bulk chemistry of the H-6 portion of Glanggang is also very similar to that of the samples mentioned. It has therefore been concluded that Selakopi and the Glanggang breccia fragments were derived from the same source area and were probably ejected at the same time. Minor differences in bulk composition and texture among the three samples may be attributed to local variations on the parent body. However, for reasons stipulated in the conclusion, it is recommended that separate names be maintained for these meteorites until further, more definitive investigations have been made." The paper menstions that the major components of the Selakopi breccia are similar in appearance and chemistry to the matrix of Glangang. best wishes, Marco ---------- Drs Marco Langbroek [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek "What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?"
