Before obtaining data on oxygen isotopy, the researchers believed that it was an anomalous CK carbonaceous chondrite. Meteorite is magnetic. The whole ore phase is not typical for rumuruti. Perhaps this meteorite will eventually become the founder of a new chondrite subgroup. <>BR> Slices of this meteorite are already available on Ebay.Check out my listings on Ebay.
