I don't agree with that statement: "I think it should be noted as an L5". One of my NWA 869 endpieces (weighs 110.1 grams) from Dean clearly shows L3 (maybe L3.8 or even lower) or L4 fragments set in a much more highly metamorphosed host matrix (L5 or L6). This incorporated (xenolithic?) fragment has crisp, sharply delineated chondrules almost "wall to wall" with hardly any matrix material between the chondrules. I've just taken a quick digital shot but can't post pics. If anyone is interested in seeing this chondrule-rich "inset" (it is really worth a look!) maybe someone would be willing to upload this picture on his/her website for others to look at.
