And maybe that is what Tafassasset is. Maybe it is just on the line (if there is one) or maybe it is the missing link between the achondrites and the chondrites. Here is the link to the report from Paris: http://www.impactika.com/Tafassasset.pdf Look at the diagram at the bottom of the first page. See how Tafassasset is plotted right between the CR chondrites and the Acapulcoites? I am sure the scientists on the List could explain that in much greater details. Anyway you look at it, I find it to be a very interesting meteorite, and very pretty too! Thanks for asking.
