Hi List,

The new Egyptian iron is now official and in the Met Bulletin
database. Notice the TKW! 1.6 metric tons! That is a lot of
fragments.

Also notice the classification type - iron ungrouped. Not "ataxite".
Although the write-up does say the meteorite shows an "ataxitic
structure".

Best regards,
