just for the record to avoid any possible confusion I am not claiming that
nwa 3133 and 1839 are paired because of the oxygen isotopse data. Before
Adam and my argument ont he list some time ago the NAU web site listed nwa
1839 and 3133 as paired stones. Adam has said something about the isotopse
data for one of the stones suggests a diffrent parent body so the stones
CANT be paired. It is not my argument that stones comming fromt he same
parent body are paired - rather that the all of the oxygen isotopse data I
have seen thus far does NOT argue against a pairing.

Your post was spot on otherwise - i just wanted to make sure there was no
misunderstanding with anything I said.
