Had a bit of trouble posting this, so excuse me if it's a duplicate...or a triple!

Hello Listees,

Last month, some may recall that I sent out photos depicting a suspicious looking 108 gram find made 3/23/11 and asking for opinions. The general consensus was terrestrial and probably slag. I agreed initially with my respected and more experienced colleagues, but curiosity over traits that could be seen only by having the specimen in hand overcame my cheapness and I sent 22+ grams off to be classified.

Today, I am pleased to announce that the unusal slag like exterior concealed an extremely fresh (WO/.1) L5 OC with an uncommon petrography. Efforts are under way to recover additional finds in the field, so I pray indulgence until we release the location which is in the western USA.
