Anne writes:
A great Iron with lots of silicate inclusions, found in Nigeria by the Benue River in 1927. First classified as a Mesosiderite then as Medium Octahedrite. Locals said that it was a Fall and that there was a second mass, but it was never found, and never proven.

Matthias, the only picture of Mincy I see is on the Met.Bulletin. Not a very good picture. It is one of those very rare meteorite you dream about but never see. And sorry, but I don't have it.

Mincy! Thanks Bernd, I didn't think of comparing it to Mincy, I'll have to look at that one. Thanks Twink, Matthias, glad you like it.

Hi Matthias, yes, I agree. My first thought was MES too. I thought at first sight it might be Mincy.

Love these, one of my favorites in my collection (not as large a collection as you Anne!!)

Fabulous, Anne. My first thought before reading "Udei station" was "mesosiderite", and reminded me of the new theory, dedicated to the origin of pallasites: not from the core/mantle border region, but resulting from very early accidents of planetesimals. But I don't know whether this theory covers mesosiderites too, and at least it is a medium octaedrite. So: fabulous, simply fabulous.
