Hi List,

Doesn't sound like they know too much about this iron meteorite or
meteoritics from the article. Most iron meteorites are highly
differentiated and don't hold the clues that pristine undifferentiated
specimens do. Perhaps the author(s) was in need of asking questions so they
could have been less vague in the article. They did say one of 5 specimens
but didn't say what it was. Oh well.
