I've been reading up recently on various parent-bodies etc and there are a
bunch of theories out there regarding various irons and stones. One that I
can think of off the top of my head is that some consider the Horse Creek
iron to have a potential origin in common with the Aubrites and/or Enstatite
Chondrites.

Cheers,

Jeff
