Microphotographs, mostly individual chondrules from Saratov

I have a bunch of microphotographs that haven't made it to my
web site yet. Many of these are chondrules that I separated from
a Saratov specimen and cleaned ultrasonically.

If anyone out there is an expert at identifying these types
I'd appreciate a confirmation on my speculative
assignments.

BTW, these were taken using the scope Michael Blood sells.
Since the chondrules are three dimensional, it is impossible
to get all parts in focus at the power I was using (32x, mostly).

Have a look at
