G'day all,

I just prepared a small 10.7g unclassified meteorite I've had sitting =
around for a few months. The first photo is the initial 240 grit polish:

The other two are polished to 600 grit.
http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 2.jpg
http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/images/NWA XXX (Chondrules) 3.jpg

Originally before preparation I was thinking a possible LL3 but there =
looks to be too much metal. In fact I have even noticed a few fully =
armoured chondrules. Sorry, the metal is not easy to see in the images. =
There are also a couple of darker areas where the chondrules thin-out =
and all but disappear. Not melted; just not really there. Unusual. If =
anyone has any opinions I'd sure appreciate hearing them.

Cheers,

Jeff Kuyken
