Thanks, Jeff, for the clarification.

But, now starts a new problem.
How to get the other databases updated?

Typically, to get the Catalogue of Meteorites revised,
all Monica Grady needs is a paper which she can
reference in her database. Sometimes this is preceded
by an entry in the Meteoritical Bulletin, such as,
Felix (CO3.4) reclassification.

So, Jeff, is there a published paper that we can use
as a reference, or will this URL
<http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2003-June/024140.html>

of your post to this List suffice for Monica?

Bob V.

No way Felix is 3.2. Jones and Scott (1990) had it at
3.2, but more recent data show it to be significantly
higher. Kainsaz is a solid 3.2, and all properties of
Felix show it to be more equilibrated than Kainsaz.
Data on TL (Sears) and on amoeboid olivine inclusions
(Chizmadia) show Felix to be more like 3.3-3.4.
My own studies of matrix in CO's support 3.4 for
Felix.
So, call it 3.3/3.4.
