Dear Dave and List,

I do not think a consensus has been made in regards to Type 7s versus
Primitive Achondrites.  After all, most Primitive Achondrites are near
chondritic in composition.  Some Winoniates and Acapulcolites which are
considered Primitive Achondrites even have relic chondrules in them.  I
cannot get a clear answer (agreement) from anybody in the scientific
community because there is still disagreement on proper terminology.  Maybe
they should eliminate the type 7s altogether if nobody can agree on what
this type really is.

All the best,
