Hello List, I have a meteorite you probably seen before that is in getting
classified. It was 205 grams and I have sliced 3/4's of it up. This
meteorite was packed with chondrules but one chondrule stood out, nothing
special as far as chondrules go, but it is huge, not huge for a chondrule,
but huge for this meteorite! I am wondering how one big chondrule could end
up in a meteorite. I have seen pics of other meteorites with one large
chondrule, but never heard an explanation of why.
 Or maybe the question should be, why are the others so small? : )
