>Seymchan was first classified as IIE based on metal composition. This
>classification was revised to "ungrouped" lateron after another analysis
>was done (see: J.T.Wasson and J.Wang, GCA, 1986, 50, p.725). I assume, all

>This piece obviously doesn't show any olivine (at least at the outer
>visible part). Thus, a classification as a pallasite could not be made as
>it requires the presence of olivine in shapes and sizes typical for
>pallasites. If the material which is presently sold as Seymchan is indeed
>paired with the main mass at Vernadsky Moscow (which is evident), then it
>must be reclassified from "UNGROUPED IRON" to "pallasite". As it seems that
>the metal is chemically anomalous with respect to typical main group
>pallasites, which show composition similar to IIIAB group irons, Seymchan
>must be regarded an ungrouped pallasite (like e.g. Glorieta Mountain). We
>will have to wait for new analyses, especially of the silicates, to get a
>clearer picture of its relationship to other known pallasites. The
>distribution of olivine in Seymchan much resembles those we know from
>Glorieta Mountain, another ungrouped pallasite. Some larger pieces of
>Glorieta lacking any olivine.
