Hi Adam, thanks ... The asteroid belt ought to be called the asteroid 
zoo!

The question I have on this one, if CV is for certain, would be whether 
it is the result of a collision with a typical CV type, or is it 
certain that it is a fully baked CV (what happened to the possible 
CAI's - are there any, or is the CV possibly just impact regolith?), 
or, whether some innocent CV got hot all by itself.


Kinest wishes
Doug

NWA 3133 is a CV Primitive Achondrite

All of these oxygen isotope compositions
plot on the CV3 mixing line, suggesting that this achondritic meteorite 
has
affinities with CV chondrites (Irving et al., 2004).
