I agree. After you understand the "fossil" aspect, it is easier to "see" the meteorite. Had the first weathering process not been so hard on the meteorite, I think we would have a lot more chondrules....such as there is in the lighter material. "A public thanks to those owners of the various masses of this fossil meteorite who donated material for its in-depth study." Once again I have to agree with David. It is interesting to note, that if not for the moroccans breaking the meteorite up and it getting classified several times the way it did, the true classification might have been a never known (?).
