[meteorite-list] NWA 5980 Iron-rich Winonaite

[Marcin Cimala]

Hello
Finally, I finished first few slices of my new/old Winonaite, paired to NWA 
4024.

Specimen was purchased in 2007 as iron meteorite. Becouse there was no place 
where I could make classification of iron meteorite, It stay unclassified 
for very long time. Then in 2008 I saw identical looking meteorite in 
Ensisheim classified as winonaite. I could not belive that I have the same 
material. Specimen was send to classification in 2009 and Ted Bunch 
confirmed that my sample is paired to NWA 4024.

So there it is. After soo many years its finally there at least :)
Till now, I have only 4 slices ready, one slice wait for polishing and 
etching and one will be investigated in Silesia University. But I alredy cut 
this specimen, so if someone want bigger slice, please contact me, becouse 
every new slice will be bigger than previous one. All slices ofcourse cut 
into 2mm full slices.
