This strange looking macrochondrule is not the only unusual feature in this meteorite. Below I have links to some more photos. Photo of a triangular, greenish-darkgray inclusion: http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-detail7.jpg A close up of the inclusion: http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-inclusion.jpg some details of the matrix: http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-detail1.jpg http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-detail2.jpg http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-detail4.jpg http://www.meteoriten.com/L-breccia-detail5.jpg I have never seen so a lot of different chondrules in a single meteorite, any sizes and colors of chondrules from 1 to 15 mm. Some areas look somehow carbonaceous. It`s a crazy piece, and the right material for spending some hours on the microscope.:-) Best wishes, Stefan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Farmer" <meteoritehunter_at_comcast.net> To: "Stefan Ralew" <stefan_at_meteoriten.com>; <meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 6:19 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] photo link - a cosmic marble > WOW, that is so cool!
