[meteorite-list] mysterite question

[martinh at isu.edu]

Hi All

Thanks for the link. I have read that article, and in fact, that was what led me to my current confusion. Seems like mysterite is an important discovery, but other than this article (and actually two others) I never see it in print. I guess that is not surprising given its wonderful name.

Anyway, I hoped someone could shed more light on this mystery. Just a guess, but if said minerial/material/enrichment/condensate/brecciation called mysterite is what the article's authors suspect, then it could be one of the more important discoveries within meteorites in many years!

Cheers,

Martin
