Hi List,

Many papers have been written about Sutter's Mill and specimens have
been studied at various institutions for over two years. The initial
and relatively-fast official classification was "C", which the
bulletin states is a "carbonaceous chondrite". The only other
meteorites classified as such in the bulletin are Japanese Antarctics
(Yamato 793277,793581) and Yamatos 86767, 86770, 86771, 86772, 86773).
Many people and collectors assumed this was a defacto temporary
classification until more data was available to rule in/out other
types and subtypes.

Question : has any of the subsequent research on Sutter's Mill
provided any evidence about what exact type of carbonaceous chondrite
it is? (CM, C-UNG, or ?)

Best regards,

MikeG
