Buchwald's work is again and again unbelievable. The Iron Bible. And this partslice of the Tucson Ring is a real treasure, Twink.

BUCHWALD V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 3, p. 1244: "Tucson has no close relatives, neither in structure nor in composition. However, the metallic part of Tucson, in particular, does have many points of resemblance with the metal of N'Goureyma; it appears that the two meteorites have had a comparable story and cooling rate."

Thanks Twink, but is it to remind us that the Tucson Show is in less than 5 months? ;-)
