> I agree, the metal-rich diogenite (NWA 1827 provisional) is probably the
> same as your NWA 1882 and was submitted as a mesosiderite. This is what
> happens when a heterogeneous stone is studied and not all the petrologic
> boundaries are crossed, no fault of the scientists. That is why there is
> such a thing as provisional status so that the NomCom can sort out
> differences in classifications and hopefully come up with the correct one.
> Just to keep the record straight, we have no interest in the metal-rich

> diogenite was confused with one of three of our different mesosiderites we
> are somewhat aware of what is happening so we thought we would comment.
