Carl and all,
     The Woodbine IL meteorite looks a lot like the silicated Campos. It is still considered an iron and not a pallasite or mesosiderite, there are many others also. Take a look, they are near the bottom of the page:

Hi All,

What are those silicated Campos? Are they irons that have not yet completed it's differentiation, similar to pallasites? Or are they more like mesosiderites with the silicated material from an asteroid that have impacted another asteroid to the iron core? Or are they something else? Are the two materials unrelated to each other as in mesosiderites?

Doesn't matter at this point whether or not they are Campos (I remember reading somewhere they were found several hundred miles away), it's just a name anyway, but to my untrained eye they look more like mesos. Also, is the Toluca (b)(?) formed the same way?

Thanks in advance. Carl
