Charles - I know very little about this meteorite. Heck, I didn't even know it was classified :) |

Wow! I could spend hours looking at this slice. Do you know anything about the ameboid white CAI looking features with the deep red centers? There are two of them near top center of this view. Special for sure!

I usually go by what the MetBul says, which is "provisional" in this case. The specimen card says H/L 3 but I did not know if that was a best-guess. Also, the MetBul seems unaware of an H/L classification. Google provided no further info. So, where does one find the H/L 3 classification for this meteorite? Thanks for pointing this out - I'm delighted to have a rare and special meteorite :) |

just noticed(not officially classified)...why is this meteorite still provisional???? The H/L 3 has been its' type tag since it was sold 10+ year ago. Jeff's Australia Meteorites has a at least one detailed feature article on it and he was recently offering a slice at a steep price. Odd situation for a special meteorite. |

NWA 2892 is classified as a rare H/L 3. It has been called a conglomerate chondrite because of a lack of matrix. I have a similar slice of this one of a kind meteorite. |
