Hi Phil, MikeG and List,

Your stone looks like Michael Cottingham's NWA 2380 (LL5) especially with
regard to its porosity although the FeNi in NWA 2380 is mostly oxidized so
there are just a few minor FeNi specks.

MikeG, yours looks more like an H chondrite as the chondrules seem to be very
small ... maybe an H4 chondrite.

Best wishes,

Bernd
