 Wouldn't this tell you the chondrule texture of the CO. And I

Hello Moni and List,

Some labs add this information, some don't. It may have to do with
their equipment. Unfortunately the abundance of chondrules alone is
not good enough to determine the sub-type. Just think of Sayh al
Uhaymir 001. It has plenty of chondrules but it's "only" an L4/5.


Cheers,

Bernd
