Eric,

Though I'm not in total agreement with you, that is a good point.
What it comes down to is terrestrial age. That would settle it. For
instance, the L chondrites at Franconia are quite obviously from a more
recent event, I'm certain they are not related., the are distinctly
different in hand and look fresher, and far rarer..

Almahitta - Sita, among others, says they are not always homogeneous.
You make good points


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

You mean all those H3-5's are paired?!? Lord.

I think people forget that there are LL's, L's and H's found from the
Gold Basin
fall. To say that a mass from a parent body large enough to have a
strewn field
of this size and TKW should be one homogeneous petro.-type is silly.
This business of trying to classify every stone as a different fall for
what
ever selfish or perverse reason along with having a personal attachment
to the
outcome of the over all conclusion is ridiculous and completely against
the
scientific method.

How many of those YDCA or what ever H3-5's have been found outside the
mapped
strewn field? And how far?

in the "Franconia area" are paired to the Buck Mountain Wash fall.

was on this very List that I was strongly criticized for this, and many

that thought they knew better defended their God-given right to name
their
stones after the Franconia meteorite that I got classified. A closer
look at
the MetBull images for Franconia shows that very few of them are from
the
Franconia fall. I offer no apologies for taking great satisfaction in
the fact
that I am now vindicated.
