[meteorite-list] Stefan's New Find

[Stefan Ralew]

Hello Together,

many thanks for the all the interesting answers to my email. Yes, it could 
be a CK/CV - if I look at Marcins photos of his NWA 4838, the pieces are 
actually very similar, although certainly not the same meteorite. Here are 
the two photos side by side:

The dark lithology could be a melted version of the light-grey lithology. 
But it is somewhat strange that the dark lithology has apparent more free 
iron metal than the light-grey area. I will of course keep the list informed 
about the final classification. The stone is currently under examination by 
Dr. Ansgar Greshake. Whatever it is, it is simply a strange thing, and a 
great surprise indeed.

Best wishes,
Stefan
