[meteorite-list] Primitive achondrites

Wed Sep 13 12:21:42 EDT 2006

Hi Tracy,

Yes, the crystalline structure of ITQIY is unique. About similarities with 
Zaklodzie, follwowing A*  "the noble gas contents of ITQIY and Zaklodzie 
differ considerably and support the view gained from their chemical and 
mineralogical compositions testifying to individuals origins and histories 
of the samples"

Nice photos of ITQIY : http://www.meteorites.tv/contents/en-us/d59.html

Regards,
Luc
