After the release here, the former owner of this piece has contacted me. He bought it in 1992 at Bethany Sciences as Thiel Mountains. He sent me a photo from that time and the page from the catalog. This allowed the piece to be clearly identified. We can follow the way of the meteorite over all owners. We also know when and at whom (meanwhile unfortunately deceased collectors) it must have come to a confusion with a Pallasovka. So the piece was resold as Pallasovka. But it sure is a Thiel Mountains. |

Thank you for sharing these images, Jens. A very nice sample; well-prepped. And a reliable source is always good. |

It is Pallasovka. I have it from a very reliable source. |

Brahin or Pallasovka, I love these honey-colored olivines! |

There are not only rouded olovines on the photo. And the pictures in MetBull shows also some rounded olovines. |

Likely Brahin, unless a mass of Pallasovka with rounded olivine crystals has been found. |
