The laboratory spectrum published in Fig. 3 of A. L. Sprague and T. L. Roush (1998, Icarus 133, 174-183) is a mixture of magnetite and hematite (∼34-45% magnetite, ∼55-66% hematite) rather than magnetite or hematite (M. D. Lane 2000, Icarus 143, 000-000) alone. Because of the unusual nature of this

The magnetite spectrum in Fig. 3 of A. L. Sprague and T. L. Roush (1998, Icarus 133, 174-183) is of hematite, not magnetite. Regardless, magnetite has no diagnostic fundamental or transparency bands within the spectral range of their Mercury telescopic data; therefore, they should not conclude the a
