Marcin, list,
That is really a cool meteorite. I have a few questions if you don't mind?
What is the black portion? Is it Basalt or Impact melt material???
How do you classify a meteorite with two distinct lithologies like that?
It seems to me it should have broken apart and separated at that point where they connect.
And if they had separated what would you call or classify the black portion as?
Is there any Scientific info or chemistry on this yet.
Thanks,
Carl
