Hello Mark, Christian, and List,

Real "whoppers", ... your macro- or megachondrules!

That's a very interesting example. This may be a xenolithic "clast"
and the "flowering effect" my have been caused by the impact of
unrelated material into or onto the host meteorite. Reminds me of
the lunar Mare Orientale impact basin with its multiple concentric
rings. Very beautiful!

Best regards,

Bernd
