what the heck is going on with dho 007?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3239&item=6512405947&rd=1

this guy says researchers are speculating the material is from mercury - I
did a quick google and found that Yamaguchi et al DID report that it's an
anaomolous eucrite and may infact be a mesosiderite!

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2003/pdf/1377.pdf

so what would the apropriate name for this material be? if it isnt related
to other HED meteorites it isnt a eucrite anymore, right? and it certainly
wouldnt be a stony iron messosiderite, unless that term now applies to rocks
with .1% stone - so what would we call this stuff, just an anaomolous
eucrite?


Anyone have any more links / papers about this material?

TIA
