Hi List, Marcin is correct,

After looking at "the fine print" I see that I made a mistake about the
photo. The photo used for the article was an "(illustrative photo)" only
and not the actual stones from this fall. I still stand behind my ID
that the ones in the original photo I was asking about are quite
possibly eucrites.

Now the only mistake I made was to not read the small print. Oopsy... ;)
Sorry guys.

Regards,
Eric
