Hi Christian, Marcin and all,

Just another example of our(my) ever expanding knowledge of these
extraterrestrials. I am never too stubborn or let my pride get in the way to
make a correction when it comes up. It is our duty to make these corrections
when needed. With all of the material going through the labs now, I am
surprised mistakes don't happen more often.

Take care everyone,
Greg
P.S. Be sure to check out my new R3.8 (likely paired to some others out
there...) ;-)

Hi all,

a mix up can always happen.

It can happen to everyone.

As Greg said, co-operation and exchange of experience
always brings good results.

That's was a good example why this list exists.

Thanks to Greg for clearing this subject and for his honesty.
No doubt on his reliability as well on Dr. Bunch's.

best regards,

Christian

Dear List Members,

I just received an email from Dr. Bunch, there was an error in the lab. Here

is part of his email:

Dr. Bunch's reply:
"Yes there is a mistake. Your section number is RHH4 and was read as PHH4,
the data of which is ET's CO3.5. Yours is an R3.8. ________complied the data

before I left and I did not double check it. ---

R3.8 S1 W3 Fa39.3 ? 1.2; FeO/MnO = 72-76 (we
started to use this constraint which is foolproof in identifying some
carbonaceous chondrites, don't need O2 data anymore). We have used our
hundreds of analyses to provide the following FeO/MnO ranges: R = 68-90; CK,

100 - 130; CO, 110- 150; CV> 140). Some overlap but other compositional
characteristics overcome the minor overlap of CK and CO, which do not look
the same anyhow.

I don't know who said that it looked like (NWA)3146, many Rs do but they are

not paired with (NWA)3146...
Sorry about the mistake and thank you for pointing it out."



Thank you Christian, Marcin and all who brought attention to this mistake.
It just shows that when we work together, good things happen. I have
corrected the current auctions on eBay to reflect the R3.8 classification
and have notified the two members who purchased some using "Buy it Now".



Now, I wonder if crow tastes good with mustard...
