Hello list!

I was looking for research done on NWA 869 since I have bought
some pieces that I believe is paired with this one and I want to learn
more about it. Finally I ended up at the Meteoritical Society master
index between 1957 and 2002.
I believed that the society was THE clearinghouse for names on
meteorites but to my surprise there is a large gap of missing NWA
numbers from 867 to 899. Is this because the reports isn't ready
yet, publiced in some different place or is there another reason?

As I understand it UCLA have made two analyses with different
classifications. No strange in that, just interesting, but I haven't
seen any referenses to any scientific report. Why?
For one of the most commonly available chondrites there seems
to be very little research done on it.

Could someone give me a pointer to a report or some reference?

Thanks in advance!

I guess that I'm in the "Every meteorite is cool" camp. :-)
