[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill slices question, Impact Melt?

[Michael Farmer]

From what I have seen, 80 grams we bought, it sure does not appear to be like any CM I can compare it to. when Robert found the first piece all we could guess was CM2 bun under the microscope it sure seems very different.
Can't wait till the final word comes out. But labs around the world are working on this meteorite. I have never seen such rapid work and cooperation on any other meteorite.
What a score for California, which is terribly deficient in witnessed falls.
