Hello Moni, Steve (Chicago), and List,

"Zelimir writes that he already has the classification for this meteorite.
Maybe that shows that this one might not be the same meteorite. If
Dean found several in a box of goodies, then it could be possible yours
is not the same as Zelimir's."

This / these meteorite(s) will remain a puzzle in the foreseeable future even
though a piece of NWA 1685 from one of our list members is presently
under classification.

Moni's comment echoes what Bruno and Carine wrote in August 2002:

"Dear Bernd, just a short note to tell you that from what we saw in four years of
checking Moroccan chondrites. We had a look on Dean's individuals and we can
tell that there are already seven different chondrites in his lot ... three stones
are Taouz 002 LL6 individuals. Sincerely, Bruno & Carine"

This comment was supported by another one I got from Dirk, also in August 2002:

"Dear Bernd, yes, there are at least 3 different meteorite types within this lot.
That is why I asked the list if they wanted to share 5-10 grams so that we can
prove or disprove this."

Yours
NWA 1685-ishly :-)

Bernd
