Aloha Jason, Gao Chergach, Pultusk falls produced significantly less melt pieces than Chelyabinsk. My guess is you’d be lucky to find a Gao, Chergach or Pultusk IMB in 25-50 stones (or more), versus one in 3 for Chelyabinsk. Because of this, I do not believe researchers where aware of IMB,

Hello All, Gao, Chergach, Pultusk, and other ordinary chondrites often have their impact melt portions ignored when being characterized. Chelyabinsk would be the most recent obvious example of this -- LL5 S4 W0 Except, when you read the petrographic description: ...A significant portion (1/3) of

Hi Jason and all! I think the description of the impact melt was sufficient for Chelyabinsk unless new information comes forward. However, with Happy, at least two of them are not fully classified, (b) and (c). All three Happy's are vague at best, unlike Chelyabinsk! It is one that could
