A thin section of NWA 3189 in xpol. light by Solar Anamnesis was the 9/23/18 MPOD.

Now, here is the meteorite, a 4.1 gr slice of NWA 3189. I got this slice from Carsten Giessler on April 2, 2006. When I asked him about the status of this meteorite, he wrote: "The meteorite was classified by Ted Bunch some time ago but it hasn't been published in the MetBull. yet."

I don't know why it is still provisional. Ted called it an LL3.2-3.4 (polymict breccia) and said that NWA 3189 was a very unsual meteorite that consisted of clasts of low subtype.

I wish the folks involved with the $selling/classification w/thin sections & samples/and I'd hope caring submitters of these stones would follow through and finish the damn job!! Like it is supposed to be. :(
