Hello List, I've been trying to get straight what information is available on R5 = meteorites. 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.=20 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.=20 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? Howard Wu -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Yahoo!
