As for the Hupes' AHOW, Christian wrote:

I agree - I am the lucky owner of two small slices weighing
2.1 and 0.9 grams. To me, they look a little like NWA 1836,
the "Twisted Sister" eucrite, although NWA 1836 has a matrix
that is paler and the very dark clasts are missing in NWA 1836.

FeNi metal is really conspicuous!

Nakhon Pathom has always been fascinating ever since I first saw
it in Bob Haag's catalogs. At first sight, it does look a little
like Cumberland Falls, doesn't it?

Congrats on these acquisitions!

Wishing Everyone
a Happy Holiday
Season,

Bernd
