> 5603 and NWA 6157). Other stones that have in the past been described as
> olivine diogenites (such as GRA 98108 and NWA 1459) have recommended
> classifications of 'diogenite', despite seeming to have a significant
> olivine content.

> So my question is, What is the requirement for a meteorite to be recorded in
> the database as as 'olivine diogenite'?

> Thanks in advance for any information.
