Hello again,

How about this one: Any thoughts on the relationship
between Glanggang and Selakopi? Cheers, Martin

No thoughts but this:

FREDRIKSSON K. and PERETSMAN G.S. (1982) Glanggang and Selakopi
- Two new paired Indonesian chondrites (Meteoritics 17, 1982, pp. 78-86):

Abstract: The Indonesian meteorites Selakopi, and H-5 chondrite, and Glanggang,
a breccia with H-6 fragments in an H-5 chondritic matrix, were recovered on the
same day from sites only 50 km apart. The textures and compositions of Selakopi
and the H-5 portion of Glanggang are very similar, indicating that they are closely
related. The bulk chemistry of the H-6 portion of Glanggang is also very similar to
that of the samples mentioned. It has therefore been concluded that Selakopi and
the Glanggang breccia fragments were derived from the same source area and were
probably ejected at the same time. Minor differences in bulk composition and texture
among the three samples may be attributed to local variations on the parent body.
However, for reasons stipulated in the conclusion, it is recommended that separate
names be maintained for these meteorites until further, more definitive investigations
have been made.

Cheers from the wet and
cold Rhein-Main area,

Bernd
