[meteorite-list] Paleo Meteorite

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Steve and List,

NWA 2828 has the pebbles that helped to classify this "Paleo"meteorite. Here 
is a link to one of the slices I had that illustrates this occurrence 
including a few other photos of NWA 2828:

I have plenty of the "Blue" material, a List member in the recent past 
posted that this may be "aubrite" material but chondrules were found there 
too, sorry. So far, NWA 4799 is the first and only true aubrite from 
Northwest Africa! Here are some links to this "Truly" amazing Aubrite. Do 
not forget that when I announced NWA 4799 that I also offered a 100% Money 
Back Guarantee that it will remain classified as an "Aubrite". I believe 
this is important because of the NWA 2828 reclassification to EL3 and the 
beliefs of some who think the pairings to NWA 2828 are aubrites:
