Hi Mike,

I have one pairing to NWA 2828, it is NWA 4232 and is the solid brown EL3
material that was not known to be paired until later evidence showed the big
picture of 2828 and its pairings, including AL Haagounia. It took many
months of going to Morocco to unlock that secret and the hard work from Dr.
Irving and Dr. Bunch. Al Haagounia was the result of a French going to the
find site... and is still not an aubrite! ;-)

Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

I should have been more specific - the "non-NWA" material consists of
all meteorites without an NWA number. :)

Didn't they find more pairings to Al-Hagg/2828? I seem to recall that
at least one other stone was paired to it.

Best regards,

MikeG
