Hi Steven, & list

Tks for the info Steven

yes I guess that the chondrules are in the upper right of your stone . Is this chondritic clast made of the same material as the slicated matrix on the left or is it an allogenous material ?

A suggestion to explain its formation is that this stone was a very very primitive achondrite.

I send your interesting pict to the team that has analysed Sahara 03500.

Best regards.

Michel

  Hi Michel,
                      I sent this to the list, Just in case you did not receive this post here it is. May answer some of your questions about your classification , but will probably raise as many new questions.
               Best Regards, Steven Drummond TUC :-)

  Hi List,
                I was going to save this for later but here goes , I have what looks like a paired stone to Michel Franco's Sahara 03500
      But this stone is somewhat different as it shows clearly what looks like chondrules in the darker material.
   Someone has stated that he thinks Michel's stone is a huge clast, Michel's stone doesn't show any of this chondrule material like my stone does, and if paired with Michel's stone could show the reason why Michel has a problem with his classification . I am not going to speculate any further on this one, I will leave it up to the Scientists if they so choose to investigate this stone further.
                 
        Anyway here is the link to a huge picture of a 44 gram main mass of my stone that was originally 69 grams. Please excuse the crude web site.
    Scroll down to the large picture ......... http://www.unknowncollector.com/ Any and all comments are welcome .
            
   Best Regards to all , Steven Drummond
