>Hello List,

>Yesterday my young German fellow meteorite collector David G. offered nine slices

>as a CK4 with a TKW of only (!) 53 grams.

>Those of you who have already seen the pictures David has taken of this carbonaceous
>beauty, can, without a doubt, confirm that this *is* a fresh CK4 (hence W0!) and its
>extremely low TKW certainly make it worth a closer look and a desirable addition to
>one's collection!

>Even though the online Meteoritical Bulletin says it is a CK5, it is actually a CK4
>(Tony Irving, pers. comm. with David). This is your chance to acquire a stunningly
>fresh CK4 chondrite. Our young student from Saxony would certainly appreciate it!

>Of the twenty-nine CK4 chondrites from NWA hitherto listed in
>the Bulletin, none has been assigned a weathering degree of W0:

>W0 = none	
>W0/1 = one
>W1 = four
>low = 2
