Stan,

I've got a large slice of this, its really great stuff, the metal
inclusions are very odd, I can never get how the metal stayed as evenly
spaced metallic flecks when the whole matrix was clearly very molten.
There was a discussion on this a year or so back so maybe search the
archives...

They did initially theorize/suspect it may be of 'mercury type orbit' in
origin due to the anomalous oxygen content which would appear to put it
closer to the sun than some of the others.

Best,
Mark Ford

what the heck is going on with dho 007?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3239&item=6512405
947&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
