Writeup from AMN 35(2): Reclassification.
Four previously announced MIL samples that have been classified as "ureilite" (MIL 090340, 090356, 090206, 090805), are being reclassified here to "ungrouped achondrite". They are all very similar to two additional samples — MIL 090963 and MIL 090405 — and may instead represent 6 meteorites that are related to brachinites, based on Ca and Cr content of the olivines, O isotopes, and grain boundary mineralogy (e.g., Warren and Rubin, 2012, LPSC abstract #2528; Goodrich et al., 2012, MetSoc abstract #5272). Although these meteorites may be related to brachinites, they are not true brachinites and so the classification "ungrouped achondrite" will be used until a further change is necessary. We specifically want to call attention to the fact that they are not ureilites so that researchers will not mistakenly request them as such. Concomitantly, we feel that researchers who are interested in brachinites may find these samples of interest and may not have noticed them previously due to the ureilite classification. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
