[meteorite-list] iron meteorites and earth origins

Hi,

Jerry posted this archive of papers to the List,
and it's great place and not cheap about putting the
whole original paper up on the website (whether it
appeared in some journal where you can't get it 
without the big bucks). The PSRD is a trove of
nuggets.

This paper is an extension (or maybe the same one)
of a study at the SwRI (Southwest Research Institute);
Ron Baalke posted on it in January, and one of a series 
of pieces mounting evidence that the final accretion of
the solar system (if not earlier) must have involved a 
great deal of planetesimal mixing across wide orbital
zones. 

The opposite notion, of narrow and uniform zones 
of formation, has been an axiom of many differing
schools of thought on solar system formation for 30-40 
years (and implied for much longer), and it now
increasingly appears to be untrue. 

Is the fall of a paradigm in the wind?
