Hello Jeff and List,

Another paper was later written by McCoy, Keil, Scott, Benedix, Ehlmann,
Mayeda, and Clayton, titled "Low-FeO Ordinary Chondrites: A Nebular
Origin And New Chondrite Parent Body", published in the 25th LPSC, 1994.
In it they studied Wray (a), Cerro los Calvos, Willaroy, Moorabie, and
Suwahib, and proposed that they represent a new group based on several
anomalous characteristics, which are most consistent with nebular
processes rather than parent body processes. Also, since no low-FeO
clasts have been found in H chondrite breccias, they concluded that this
group probably originated on a separate parent body.

Some further details may be found on my Moorabie webpage at
meteoritestudies.com.
