Adam, not to be a pain, but there is absolutely nothing rare or important
about an L4 S2-4 W1 meteorite. I have piles of common chondrites sitting in
my garage. So why the "hupelah" about this one:)

> Dear List Members,

> This weeks special is NWA2127, a very rare and almost unheard of L4, S2-4,
> W1 Regolith Breccia Chondrite found in Northwest Africa 2004. When we
> first
> looked at this meteorite we thought we were looking at an achondrite. We
> took a second slice and saw what appeared to be a chondrule in the middle
> of
> an achondrite-type matrix. Our curiosities were peeked prompting us to
> send
> out a type specimen for priority study. NAU, a NomCom approved facility,
> reported back that we had a regolith from a chondrite parent body with the
> widest range of differing clasts ever observed in a single sample. It was
> classified as an L4 because the majority of the observed chondrules fell
> into this range. A more accurate classification might be L4-6, S2-5, W1
> because these are the ranges found. A total known weight of only 45.2
> grams
> is officially recorded for this very fascinating and scientifically
> important find so there is very little to go around. We arranged to have
> the finders look for more but unfortunately no more was found.
