Hi Kieron and List,

I'll take a stab at this one - although I could be wrong, here is my theory -

Perhaps "olivine diogenite" is not fully-accepted nomenclature by all
scientists and institutions, so maybe it depends on who does the
classification and who submits the write-up?

Best regards,

MikeG
