OK . . . but it seems that there is no exact black and white definition for weathered ILR. Are there any of you chemists that would go to court and say this sample is 70% evaporated/weathered and accordingly it is not the result of contamination. On the other hand are there any chemists that would say that the sample recovered shows no significant measure of evaporation/weathering therefore it is likely a contaminate.
