[meteorite-list] Re: new isotopic results suggest new classifications for...

[Adam Hupe]

Here is the Meteoritical Bulletin link for Tafassasset.  I do not recall it
ever being classified as a Brachinite although some might consider it the
world's first CR7 or Metachondrite, whichever term one is more comfortable
with.  Some used the term in the past "Brachinite-like" to describe it on
ebay and a few web-sites.

Take Care,

Adam
