My three Bath Furnace specimens (2.56 + 0.38 + 0.37 grams) arrived today and after my first quick look at them under the micoscope at 8x mag. I almost believe that a reclassification of this historic L6 chondrite is overdue. If this material is genuine (which I have to assume), it looks more like an L4-5 or an L5 fragmental breccia. The 2.56-gram slice has way too many chondrules to be a run-of-the mill, ordinary L6 chondrite. One of the smaller specimens does look like an L6 chondrite though. Hmmm, ... maybe an L4-6??? What about the others who have bought specimens from MC? Any input would be appreciated! Bernd Received on Tue 19 Feb 2008 01:58:45 PM PST |
