[Chladnis Heirs]

Hi Richard,

"Chladnite" is a synonym for enstatite and was a synonym for the aubrites
among the meteorites.

That mineral name was introduced by Charles U. Shepard (1804-1886) in 1846
when he firstly observed enstatite in the 1843 fallen Bishopville aubrite,
to honor Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni as the founder of modern
meteoritics.


Best!

Chladnite?

I see this fall is now classified as a Diogenite but could anyone discuss
the term Chladnite a bit more?

Nice addition to the fall collection Mike!
