<the first pieces were cut from the Neuschwanstein meteorite, and thin sections had been prepared, the result was: .... (rolling drums) ... no, not "just" an ordinary chondrite but an enstatite chondrite (E6). Further analyses will show if it is an EH or an EL.>

It will be interesting to see how this affects chondrite formation theory since H's and E's are supposed to be formed in different regions of the solar system. Maybe the orbital similarity to Pribram is just a coincidence.
