Dear Martin:

Thanks for taking the time to reply to (and not taking offense at) my
admittedly somewhat frivolous comment re: meteorite classification
rationale and allow me to say I see your point.

To the group:

Being a new fan and still fairly ignorant I would appreciate any info. on
the following: As I understand it the primary inclusions in the Gibeon FO
are graphite and troilite, and I was under the impression that the common
black "graphite looking" inclusions that have a tendency to dissolve during
the etching process are indeed graphite, which leads me to wonder what
troilite inclusions look like. (I believe troilite is a form of iron
sulfide is it not?)
I await enlightenment.
