Hello once again,

Another possible inconsistency:

My Estacado thin section measures 2.3 x 1.6 cm (3.68 cm^2)
and I found at least 7 relict POP chondrules and 1 relict, barred
chondrule.

This would also be in clear contrast to A.E. Rubin's statement:

"The impact melt origin of [Spade] is indicated by the low
modal abundances of relict chondrules (1.8 vol.%) ..."
