Hello Fred, Stefan and List,

"The darker side looks like a CV3, but the fair grey one?"

The uncut main mass: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/carb-ungesch.jpg

Ever since Stefan first showed me this unique specimen in November 2008,
I've been wondering and brooding what this might be. My very first idea was
that this might be a CK-like chondrite, then I thought it might also be some
kind of E-chondrite and from there, it was just another (hypothetical) hop
to the assumption that this could be a Kakangari-like chondrite (???)

What do you think?

Bernd
