Jeff, Dean, List,

Thanks for NWA 869 info. A superb meteorite indeed.

Another NWA, currently labelled "NWA 904", that can be currently found by
now relatively abundant on the European market(s), appears to be quite
similar to NWA 869 . Its general aspect, color, inclusions...fit fairly well
Jeff's description of NWA 869 on its site as well.

Anybody heard about possible pairings of NWA 869 and 904 ?
=20
A more general question would be:
What are all the other NWA supposed to be paired with NWA 869 so far (other
than NWA 787 and 900, as mentioned by Jeff)?
And, if such pairings are confirmed, I suppose the TKW of this meteorite
would be over the 3000 kg that Dean mentioned...

Thanks to experts for providing any further data on this beauty. Its final
classification ("simple L5") is so surprising...

My most cordial wishes for 2004 to all!

Zelimir
