[meteorite-list] Gebel Kamil iron is official now - 1.6 metric tons!?!?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi List,

The new Egyptian iron is now official and in the Met Bulletin
database.  Notice the TKW!  1.6 metric tons!  That is a lot of
fragments.

Also notice the classification type - iron ungrouped.  Not "ataxite".
Although the write-up does say the meteorite shows an "ataxitic
structure".
