The shock stage of the rock is S4, the weathering grade is W1." "wt.%: Al: 14.68; Si: 20.73; Mg: 2.68; Fe: 3.5; Ca: 11.1." Thanks for posting the photo and the nice web page Randy. Would you know how a weathering grade was assigned (probably there is more to this seeing it was classified at Wlotzka's Max Planck) , I wonder how much iron and FeS of the 3.5% Fe was actually available/useful to this end? W1 is statistically quite a nice rating to fall off the turnip truck, wouldn't a simple Antarctic "A" be more appropriate?
