North Chile, volume 3, page 917
Coya Norte, volume 3, page 917

Puripica, volume 3, page 920
Quillagua, volume 3, page 922
Rio Loa, volume 3, page 924

These are different masses, found and named at different times. It was discovered later that they were parts of the same meteorite.

Well, John L., of course they are all all parts and pieces of an old meteorite, an Hexahedrite now called the North Chile. I have had Filomena, Puripica, Quillagua, all long gone, but also with no pattern. Typical of Hexahedrites. |

Thank you Anne, do you know if all of its variables are non-etchers? |

The Lunars will beat them all very easily, go take a look at the website of Randy Korotev, Washington University. (sorry I can't put the link here, so just email me) Sorry Paul. |

NWA 869 (not 868), and also NWA 900, SAH 02500, etc. |

Sixteen (16) different names/synonyms for one Iron! That may only be surpassed by NWA 868, 787, 904, etc. But Antartica listed finds still likely wins for the most names for the same meteorite found. :/ |
