Some of the older books from twenty years ago did not have the values that way...maybe due to most being weathered ELs. The EL3 I recently showed on the MPOD, NWA 15359, has a lot of metal in it. Much more than H chondrites. Both the NWA 15359 meteorite and this one, NWA 14141 (EL4), weighed 525 grams which is ironic. Both W0/S2 also!
