You know what... I just googled the question myself and got the same
references - also a piece by David Weir! Sorry to have wasted the List's
efforts - I should make it my mantra of 2007 "Google first, ask questions
second!"

What is interesting is that I had noticed on my slice of Taz, are the micro
crystals in the vugs, again - I noticed that someone had tried to photograph
them. As a collector of terrestrial rocks as well, this fascinates me as to
whether xls formed in micro or milligravity would be different to their
terrestrial counterparts. I suspect that because the xls are so small (0
1mm or so) that they would retain the same euhedral shapes as equivalently
small xls on Earth.
The only xls I was able to identify were probably FeS (ie Troilite/Pyrite)
but I guess there might be more silicates...

Very interesting stuff!

Dave:
This was proposed several years ago, and I remember reading about it in
Meteorite! magazine.
The authors also suggested Tjerebon was paired with Basz and Taz. They
do look very similar, but alot of meteorites do.
Look at St-Severin and Ensisheim.
Here is the ref for Meteorite!
