Pete,

Just a few weeks ago I was speaking with people from the Royal Ontario
Museum and they have material and are hopefully able to do some research
on it soon. There is still high interest in this stuff and I too want
to see some more testing and classification done on it. It would be
great to learn what these very cool achondritic clasts are which abound
throughout NWA1685.

Ian, are you lurking? ;>)
Cheers!

Mike Tettenborn

Also a proud owner of some beautiful BL slices and individuals.
