AW: [meteorite-list] Reid 016

[Jörn Koblitz]

If I correctly remember, when this meteorite came up, it was first thought to be a brachinite. Classification later on showed it to be a poymict ureilite.

as a Brachinite.
    Anyone know why the discrepancy? 




I have a small piece of Reid 013, which I understand to be a Brachinite.   Maybe Casper figured if it was within 3 numbers.....;-)
