Quite some time ago IA irons and IB irons were considered two different and
seperate classifications but after some transitionary meteorites were found
it was determined that IA's and IB's were actually the same thing so the
classifications were joined together into the group that we have now - IAB.
Hope this answers your question,

Hi List,

Just wondering if anyone can comment on where
Monturaqui Iron Shale is grouped. After searching
various websites, some group it as 'IAB' and quite a
few as just 'I'! Does it specifically belong to IA or
IB; or just simply IAB? I wasn't sure & it tweaked my
interest.

Thanks,

Jeff.
