Hi list

I wonder where is the line between a high metal winonaite
and a silicated iron as in some irons, the silicate inclusions
are winonaitic.
Maybe analyses made on a piece where silicates are dominant
can give a winonaite classification and on other pieces of the
same fall with dominant iron can give an iron classification ?
I'm asking because I have some pieces of NWA 4024 with
silicates and some without, only irons, and recently I cut some
small iron meteorites from Morocco and found them very similar
with the irons from NWA 4024.
Shall I call them irons ? or metal inclusions from a W chondrite ?

Best Regards,
Andrei
