[meteorite-list] KATOL (L6) is official

[Greg Hupé]

Since the iron was found with other fresh Katol stony pieces and some of the 
stony matrix is clearly visible on the outside of the iron, I see no reason 
to even consider cutting it to get a separate name. That is one nice thing 
of the iron being collected within a couple days of the fall, and well 
before any rains came along to oxidize and/or discolor the portion of matric 
on the iron. I think the few irons should be mentioned in the Official Katol 
classification, clearly they are 'pop-outs' from the Katol mass.

...just my 2 Rupees worth...

Best Regards,
Greg
