[meteorite-list] Unknown irons at ASU

[mail at mhmeteorites.com]

Hi Mirko
I made a mistake. 1 is what I meant to call Gibeon, but yes it does look like Page City. I see what you mean.  And the slices of Page City were about 15 cm across, just like the one in the photo.

No. 2 is what I meant to call NWA. This looks very much like the cut face of the material Ali had a few years back. I would wager a beer on it!

Dear Matt,

To #1 , please see the small gaps in the iron.
This is typical for Page City and I know of no other iron of this type with this feature.
I have almost all NWA iron in the collection.
Such is not known to me.
Please look to the Jim Schwade Collection catalog on page 59.
I think the slice from the ASU collection is a full slice of the same endcut.
And #2 sorry, but this is never Gibeon.
In the photo is a medium or coarse octahedrite.

Best regards Mirko
