You said that a geochemist work extensive experience in studying meteorites said it was a eucrite. I said it wasn't and you implied that someone far superior to me thought otherwise.
What kind of moronic games are you playing?
Either it has been studied or it hasn't. Make up your mind. Learn about meteorites because that isn't one.
