Hello Anne and List,

Yes, that's right. "Diprivier" is the way the authors
spelled the word several times in their abstract:

TREDOUX M. et al. (1999) New results on old and new
South African chondrites (MAPS 34-4, 1999, A115).

Another case of which spelling/pronunciation is correct. Maybe
someone from down there in South Africa can shed some light
on it!

Best regards,

Bernd
