This week Mike Farmer offered on ebay a small .4g piece of "NWA 1585" which he said there's about a kilo TKW. He also made claim that this was the only R5 available to the collecting public. Early this year I bought a slice of a "NWA 1585" from Dean Bessey of which he said was the only known R5 but claimed a TKW of 26.5grams. So if there's a kilo of this meteorite around I'd like to know. Then at Tuscon I meet Blaine Reed who had an R5 named " NWA1668" with a TKW of about 700gms. Ok, I thought that this is even newer. I recently found a posting of this on " A Systemic Classification of Meteorite" site. (http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/9278/systemat.htm ) Here is listed four R5's. There is nothing searchable on "NWA1585." Now I'm thinking I and everybody else is just catching up to these new finds. But all new facts are not in agreement or there is too little information available for me to know what really is what with this rare classification. I've writen to both Mike and Dean and had conversations with Blaine about this. Mike thinks this is a pairing though my two specimens look quite different. Dean is in disagreement based on these differences. Blaine hadn't heard of NWA 1585 till I told him about it. Dean and Mike hadn't heard of NWA 1668 till I brought this up. I don't wish to start another food fight on line, but would like to hear others knowledgable opinion on this meteoritic type. Does anyone else wish to weigh in on this one?
