Hello List,

Several list members brought it to my attention that the last 3 images
in Edwin's photo album are of Abee, not NWA 6694. My mistake. I
should've figured it out when I noticed the 'weathering' effect was not
evident in the first images of the hand specimen, '6694, only the last
3 images of the big slab of Abee.

I didn't see any comments on this weathering effect seen in clasts of
the Abee, can anyone explain what's going on there? Having not ever
seen a piece of it in person it's hard to tell exactly what I'm looking
at. Now that I know it's an EH chondrite I'm wondering if the high
metal is somehow causing the effect.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins
