[meteorite-list] NWA 5363 UNGROUPED OR BRACHNITE

[Impactika at aol.com]

Kai, 
 
This was discussed at length only 6 weeks ago. Let's not do that again.
 
The only way it will be known for certain whether those two meteorites are 
paired, or not, will be after a comparative study of the Oxygen Isotopes is 
done on both meteorites.
It has been done by Dr. Tony Irving for NWA 5400.
He has now been supplied with a fragment of NWA 5363.
And we will have to wait until he is done studying this second one.
 
Patiently if at all possible!

Hi Tom,

I am confused by your post. You memtioned that 5363 is 5400 paired.
But NWA5400 is a brachnite like but not a brachnite due to its
terrestial osotope. It is a terrestial meteorite or ungrouped. To be a
brachnite and nwa5400 paired is a contradiction to me. Anyway I cannot
find the  5363 on meteotitical bulletin.

Just post my thinking for your consideration.

Thanks,

Kai
