[meteorite-list] NWA 773 lunar pairings

[David Weir]

List,

Well, the results are in - in the MetSoc 69th Annual Meeting abstract 
#5235 that is... and just as I had suspected, NWA 773 has many brothers 
and sisters: NWA 2700 (previously with Boswell), 2727 (Oakes et al.), 
2977 (Farmer), 3160 (Hupe), and 3333 (Kuntz) are all considered to be 
paired by the eminent scientists Zeigler, Korotev, Jolliff, Bunch, and 
Irving. Of course, I'm not sure the NomCom rules allow such an official 
  pairing with NWA 773 after the fact, especially with no reliable 
geographic coordinates. But then a future peer-reviewed journal 
publication could make it officially "official" I believe. No matter, 
the abstract is more than convincing if your own eyes have ever cast 
doubt on their pairing. I have some revisions to make on my site.
