It was bought on the spot from the finders as they lined up to sell the meteorites. It is Katol:) Central India is not Morocco with every person having a box of meteorites to sell. It is almost completely iron, with perhaps 5% silicates. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPad On Jan 2, 2014, at 6

I am not arguing with Laurence, the photos of the thin sections, the oxygen isotope data seems clear. I am simply showing there is a little more going on with Katol than common (l6). You can examine the piece in Tucson when you come down for the show. I think you'll like it. Michael Farmer
