Hi Anne and List,

The mineral compositions in the silicate inclusions in Lueders, a IAB iron, are
similar to winonaites, i.e. primitive achondritic, whereas silicate fragments in
mesosiderites are similar to eucrites, howardites, and diogenites (crustal
material of an achondrite parent body).

Best regards,

Bernd
