I "fourth," or whatever the correct term would be. I move for the motion to
be carried by acclamation. No more grousing . . . oops, I meant to say
dowsing.

I've been spending an enjoyable evening at the microscope ogling my
NWA 5507 slice (16.39 gr - see Encyclopedia if interested). Marcin's
NWA 5507 is an interesting L3.2 with lots of spectacular features:

- clasts (or PP chondrules?) with abundant translucent, light-green
  hypersthene crystals in a grayish groundmass + tiny chromites
- finely disseminated troilite
- troilite-rimmed chondrules
- complex BO-Pyroxene chondrules
- and much more!

Best wishes,

Bernd
