VNIR spectra of the three distinct main belt E-type lithologies (B. E. Clark et al. 2004) plotted against our <45 μm powder of Norton County, whose larger grain sizes best matched 2023 DZ2. Since Norton County has been measured in various grain sizes, it can be used as a compositional bridge between regolith-free NEAs and main belt objects (<45 μm powder). All spectra are set to unity at 1.5 μm.
