Re: Dimmitt
Another plentiful meteorite find from Castro County, Texas is Tulia (a).
Tulia (a) is officially classified as an H3-4 stone chondrite. However there
appears to have been a mix-up during classificatiopn with a specimen of
Dimmitt, and Tulia (a) is believed by most, myself included, to be an H5
stone chondrite, and Dimmitt, the H3-4.
While H3.7 sounds better us collectors, we should likely use H3-4....which
in my personal opinion...does not carry the value of a true H3.7.
