[meteorite-list] AD - More NWA 3147 Eucrite Available

[Adam Hupe]

Dear List,

A eucrite can have several different lithologies.  I would not say that all
eucrites have a basaltic texture.  Some polymict eucrites are completely
mixed while others like Agoult can't be described properly.  Eucrites are an
extremely diverse group of achondrites so using the word basaltic as a
qualifier is alright.

Kind Regards,
