Tom Phillips posed an interesting question the other day about any of the
EL3 material that might have been on higher ground and not so severely
weathered.

I cut what I thought was a small weathered chondrite the other day and
believe it is this EL3 material but with a decent amount of metal. It is
much darker than the other small EL3 fragments I've looked at and and a
magnet pulled more like a weathered chondrite.

What do y'all think from this picture:

Here is a close-up:

Anyone have similar pictures to share?

Regards,
Phil
