[meteorite-list] NWA904 Meteorite, Collection in a Slice, MAIN MASS 1, 968g

[Bernhard "Rendelius" Rems]

I think the problem arises from the fact that sellers have sold a lot of
stuff under NWA 869. I have a couple of so called NWA 869s, and it's
hard to believe they all come from the same fall.

However, I can say that NWA 904, at least the slice I got from the
Hupes, does NOT look like NWA 869 in any way, nor does the one I got
from Steve "The Latefallsalesman" Arnold. The matrix is different. Most
of my NWA 869 look rather greyish on the inside, the NWA 904 has a
brown/orange hue. Brecciation is somewhat different as well.

This was hard to decide which one is 869 but photo was small :). Anyway
I'm
not saying that 904 is different from 969 becouse I have only one slice.
But
Im sure that this specimen I have is different from any other NWA869 I
cut
and polish. Look at crust, flat complete surface. How many NWA869 have
that
surface ?
