Dear List,

I just received a message from Albert Jambon
regarding the recently debated issue of NWA 5400 and its possible pairings.
Albert contacted me (as Ensishim organizer) after
several unfruitful attempts and asked me to send
this message (below) to the list.

I know that forwarding someone else's message
does not really meet the meteorite list policy
but thought that Albert, who was often cited
and/or called in this effervescent discussion,
should have the right of answering the concerned
protagonists and present his statement about an
issue (NWA 4500 pairings) wherein he has been fully involved.
I hope the list moderator would allow this post to go.

Now it's enough.

I have been out of my office for fieldwork with
my students and a friend of mine draw my attention to this mess.
Now I am back.

Original scientific information does not have to
go to the list first but rather to The Nom. Com. and scientific
publications.
Description of NWA 5363 has been submitted since a long time but not yet
voted.
However, the situation is such that it appears
better to release some information.
NWA 5400 is undoubtedly paired with NWA 5363!

I received a sample from Mbarek Ait el Caid in February 2008.
I received a second sample from another stone in
May of the same year, again from Mbarek.
I had additional samples from American collectors as well.

Copies of my private mails that were posted on
this list are authentic (but not the translation).

NWA 5363 was submitted with a TKW of 2455g.
The second stone has a TKW of 5530 g.
As for the others I just don't know.

If you want more scientific information, go to the Met. Bull. database.

When you know nothing just keep silent.

And now according to Greg's writing :
"I welcome any pairings to NWA 5400, the
Earth-Related Meteorite! The more the better for all of us."

I have been insulted.
My Moroccan partners have been insulted too.
We all wait for apology.

Albert Jambon
