Hello Mark and List,

My 25-gram Tulia (a) specimen that I purchased from Walter Zeitschel
in August 1987 shows so many clearly delineated chondrules that I'd
find it difficult to call it an H5 chondrite.

Oh, by the way, my 18.5-gram Dimmitt endcut has the Huss number
"H9,287" painted on in thin white letters and numbers and is a sea
of grayish chondrules.

Here is an interesting reference for those interested in these interesting
meteorites - paired or not paired that's the question ;-)

Tulia-Dimmitt area (Meteoritics 17, 1982, 229-230).


Best wishes,
