Hello all,

This thread is not meant to drag this subject on a lot longer. What I did was put together some pieces of each meteorite for comparison in a picture. They look very similar of course. The 904 material as you can see on the left seems to have extra features in the comparison of the other pieces. Go to the webpages noted below.

Also I once had thin sections made of all three and to me (as a novice saying it)..."904 in the section material, that I had made, looks different than the 787 and 869 material in section". The latter two look very similar in section. When I get a chance I may upload some section pics of the different numbers.

Could they still be from the same fall...who knows unless someone gets serious about comparing them? Until then, we can only sit back and "throw stones" at each other while we enjoy these beauties.

comparison first seen on the Meteorite Gallery uplaod page. 904 on left, others on right.

then it should be moved to the NWA page.
