[meteorite-list] "R" help

[Martin Altmann]

Hi Tom,

at David Weir's page it says about Rs:
"The group is highly oxidized, olivine-rich and metal-poor."
and
"..and essentially no FeNi-metal as compared to all other chondrite groups."
Thus no maths or special knowledge necessary.

Praise the Weir!
Martin
