Although I must admit that this was also my first thought when I saw
the first pics on Mike's sales page, there are two arguments against
such an assumption:
1) Analysis data:
Odessa: 7.25 % Ni, 7.24 % Ni, 8.73 %Ni, 7.2 % Ni
74.7 ppm. Ga, 285 ppm. Ge, 2.2 ppm. Ir
Soledade: 6.7 % Ni, 98.5 ppm. Ga, 420 ppm. Ge, 3.90 ppm. Ir
2) ZUCOLOTTO M.E. (1999) Brazilian Meteorites
(Meteorite!, Aug 1999, Vol. 5, No. 3, pp. 9-10):
"The inside color of Soledade was a little bit brighter than other siderites".
Best regards,
Bernd
