G'day List,
I have a question I'm hoping someone may be able to answer as I don't know
if I have this right. My (basic) understanding is that the silicate parts of
a silicated iron are actually Winonaite material. When this silicate
material is found without iron, then they are classified as a Winonaite but
with/in an iron then they become a silicated iron.
Is this right or am I way off here? There seem to be an increasing amount of
silicated irons being classified as a Winonaite. So when is a silicated iron
not a Winonaite and vice-versa?
Thanks,
Jeff
