So did I and that's why I would like to direct your attention to something
more noteworthy than these vain quibbles. They are Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde's
meteorites and so he/they can do with them whatever he/they please(s) though
I do know what you all mean.

Does anyone think that Georgetown and Mundrabilla might have a common
history ??? Why I am asking? Here's what Vagn Buchwald wrote in 1975:

BUCHWALD, V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 3, p. 862:

"Primary aggregates of inch-sized taenite crystals, separated by troilite melts, are
apparently not at all rare but may occur within many groups of iron meteorites. Out-
standing examples are N'Goureyma, San Christobal, Barranca Blanca, Waterville, Soroti,
Santa Catharina, Twin City, and M u n d r a b i l l a. There are, however, strong indi-
cations that these primitive structures mainly occur within the anomalous meteorites."

Cheers,

Bernd
