[meteorite-list] CD vs Campo

Thu Jun 24 17:12:48 EDT 2010

Greg,
Back in 1997 you may have purchased real CD material. I know at Tucson you can still buy it by the handful  from old collections. And up until a few years ago I saw it being sold by the large paint buckets. Still in nice rusty condition. 
Even so, it is my understanding that according to Ninninger there has always been two different Canyon Diablo lithologies. 
Which one do you have??? If either? Who knows. No way I know to tell without extensive testing.
