Hello all

For what I see in the piece I have in my collection,
for me is a eucrite. Is type DaG 671
http://it.geocities.com/meteoriti2000/DAG671GR.2.JPG
or DaG 669
http://it.geocities.com/meteoriti2000/DaG669gr.35.8.JPG
classificated howardites but is similar to DaG 884
http://it.geocities.com/meteoriti20002/DarAlGani844gr.0.3.JPG
is classificated Eucrite
Regards

matteo
