Hi William,
Good question. Can't say exactly how common they are (not very I
think) or even what the type 3 that the classifier(s) saw looked like
but here is a link to a picture of what appears to be a quite low
petrologic type clast in one of my slices of a paired stone (NWA 900).

Or maybe I should be asking in a different way, out of any given 10,000 grams of 869 material, how many grams might end up being type 3?
