How's this for a classification? Bencubbinite
Anne writes:
Discovered by Richard Kowalski as an asteroid on October 6, 2008.
Fell in Northern Sudan as predicted on October 7. Found as thousand of fragments, by an expedition led by the University of Kartoum.
Each and every one of those fragments is now being studied and analyzed by Prof. Andi Bischoff who has already found many different types of meteorites within that one single meteorite. And fragment number 181 was one more surprise: this one is a Bencubbinite.

Bernd, completely agree. I feel it is a type collection all in one. Richard, what an amazing accomplishment to have discovered such a scientifically significant object which will literally rewrite theories regarding parent bodies. |
