A resounding bravo from someone who was out in the garden on a beautiful
spring day and came back with countless thorns of roses and scratches
thereof on his skin :-)

KEIL K. et al. (1990) The Olton, Texas, H chondrite regolith breccia:
Paired with Dimmitt (Meteoritics 25-4, 1990, 259-261, excerpt):

Pairing of chondritic meteorites is difficult, because of a lack of
unequivocal pairing characteristics.  We suggest that Olton is paired
with Dimmitt, but it should be noted that the Dimmitt strewnfield has
also yielded numerous specimens of an H3-4, brecciated chondrite called
Tulia (a) [Tulia (b) is an L6 chondrite clearly not paired with Olton;
Graham et al., 1985]. Apparently, Tulia (a) is not paired with Olton,
because it does not contain solar wind-implanted noble gases (Taylor and
Heymann, 1969). This, however, is a single analysis (Schultz and Kruse,
1989) that could by chance be of a solar gas-poor area of Tulia (a);
additional measurements should be carried out before one can be certain
that this meteorite is devoid of such gases.


Best regards,

Bernd
