[meteorite-list] Michael Cottingham's NWA 2690 - a Eucrite or a Howardite?

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

Hello All!

Have you already seen Michael Cottingham's interesting NWA 2690 "eucrite"
on EBay? He is still offering it at a 20% discount. Not only is it an interesting,
aesthetically beautiful HED stone but its classification details are also a bit
surprising or even somewhat puzzling! Even though it looks like a howardite, it's
been classified as a eucrite. So far, so good. At the same time it is supposed
to be paired with NWA 1929 which was classified as a howardite !?

Michael speaks of an overlapping classification, so, if this classification and
this pairing is not a typo, we would have an extremely interesting representative
of the HED suite.

Anyway, it's a beautiful "eucrite-howardite", ... well worth a look!

Best wishes and
off to bed!

Bernd
