[meteorite-list] New Reduced H4 like the Burnwell fall in KY

[Thunder Stone]

List:
 
Last year I purchased a meteorite at a rock and mineral show a because it just looked a little different from most chondrites I have seen.  The seller did not know where it was found so I got the provisional name NOVA 010.  The exterior almost looked like an Iron or a Stony-Iron and it contained a lot of metal.  The metal also looked a little different - more globular then most H-chondrites I've seen.  I thought it might be a CH or an EH chondrite.  Well I got it classified and it turned out to be a "reduced H4" with numbers very similar to the "Burnwell" fall in KY., although it's even more reduced.
 
NOVA 010
 
W2 S3, olivine Fa 14.4 ±0.5 (n=7); low-Ca pyroxene Fs13.7 ±0.6, Wo0.6 ±0.3 (n=11)
 
 
Now here's Burnwell
 
W0(fall) S3, olivine Fa 15.8 ±0.2 (n=79); low-Ca pyroxene Fs13.4 ±0.7, Wo0.7 ±0.2 (n=98)
 

So you never know what you have until it gets classified.
