[meteorite-list] Troilite inclusions

[Zelimir Gabelica]

Hello Bernd, Frank, Mike, List,

Many thanks for the info about terrestrial troilite. Here (at work)  I only 
had a small reference textbook on mineralogy. Home I have some 2000+ 
mineral books and (almost all) journals, among which those books you are 
mentioning. It may also well happen that I have some troilite specimen in 
my extended mineral collection.
Sorry then for having perhaps asked an obvious question. This at least 
shows that our List works well and efficiently.
Thank you all again for the pertinent documentation. The troilite problem 
remains interesting in many aspects.

Cordially,

Zelimir
