I picked up a nice piece of Akwanga in Tucson, but the class is listed
as "H". Anyone have additional info on this meteorite? That is all that
is listed in the C of M as well. Thanks, Matt Morgan


Hello Matt and List,

No additional info but as the fayalite is given as Fa19 and the total iron
content as 26.13 % + Don Edwards' picture in the MetBull's Encyclopedia
of Meteorites, it is presumably an H5 or even more likely an H6 chondrite.
And, it does look brecciated in Don's picture.

Best regards,

Bernd
