[meteorite-list] PV way out of hand!

Dear List,

Chondrules have been found in PV so why would it be called a Primitive
Achondrite or an H7?  I read that complete chondrules were found within 2mm
of the metal veins raising significant questions about the cooling rate of
the metal.  Some feel it would be impossible for a chondrule to survive so
close to the metal if it cooled over millions of years, enough time to
create a pattern.  It is an odd ball but by every definition I have read it
is an H6 and is probably the coolest one I have ever seen.

All the best,
