Hello Jeff and List,

Beautiful, fresh fragment - pristine as if it had fallen
a few seconds ago ...very impressive! Thanks for sharing
so quickly! It looks so "coaly" that, if I were to judge
from the pictures alone, I'd lean towards a CK (maybe CK3)
chondrite.

Yes I know, there are fresh FeNi metal flecks and I haven't
seen it in person but, on the other hand, one of my NWA CKs,
NWA 521 (CK4) does have some metal "pockets" and, moreover,
there are minute metal specks and metal "spray" throughout.

Sincere congrats on such a fine addition to your collection!

Bernd
