Hi Greg and List,

Wow. When I first saw that link, I thought maybe Michael had made a
rare typographical error. That is really an iron? I had no idea that
irons could have a fusion crust that thick. And that matrix is almost
bizarre to look at. I'm very curious what the final word on this
specimen will be. The provisional classification is "iron
ungrouped". But that is a rather broad catch-all typing - I'm looking
forward to learning more about it. Are there any papers about it in
the works?

Best regards,

MikeG
