Hello Marcin and List,

These words remind me of what I wrote last March 04 about Carsten's NWA 4679
(CK4) - paired with Philippe Thomas's NWA 4425 - C3.8. If your MC036 chondrite
happens to be paired with the other two CK's, my comment re: NWA 4679 might once
again be of interest. Here it is:

"As such macrochondrules have not been observed in CK chondrites, I wonder where this
huge 12-mm BO chondrule comes from. Maybe from the meteorite that collided with the CK
parent body of NWA 4679? If so, was it an H, an L, or an LL chondrite? The sheer size
of this macrochondrule speaks in favor of an L chondrite."

Here is the URL for those who haven't seen this megachondrule yet:
