Hi Moni,

wasn't there a type-guessing contest for Santa Fe in April on the list?
Has anyone recorded the bets?

Hi Bernd and All,

how wonderful that you already have your piece secured.
This is really a fantastic looking meteorite.

Now could it be an iron-ung?
Or why not?

I just saw for the first time that such classification exists.
Actually it looks a little like Barbianello.
But of course I still have much to learn!


The recommended classification Iron-ung means according to the met.bulletin

"An iron meteorite that does not fit into any of the established chemical
groups."

The highlighted words are defined as follows:

Iron meteorite: A meteorite that is dominantly composed of Fe-Ni metal and
that crystallized from a melt.
