Hello Again All, Steve,
Well, you're...kind of....right.
Most people wouldn't qualify Havana as a meteorite, seeing as all
that's known of it is a few little indian beads made out of meteoric
iron. Yes, it's true, they did turn out to have a different chemical
composition than any known iron, but then again, it was never
published in the meteoritical bulletin.
It would be something like calling Fredericksburg (remember that
Hexahedrite from a few years ago?) an approved meteorite - it's never
been mentioned in the bulletin or elsewhere, so how can you?
On that note, does anyone know why it was never submitted?
Regards,
Jason
