Hello For me to see it is a xenolithic inclusion.
a xenolith is a fragment of rock differing in origin, composition, structure, etc., from the rock enclosing it. It looks alot like the NWA900 (NWA869?) taht Matteo have sold, and is pictured in Nortons "The Cambridge encyclopedia of meteorites" page 144. There it is achondrittic rock inclosed in a chondritic host. I think the same thing is the case here. :-) Lars Pedersen ----- Original Message ----- From: "PolandMET.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 12:05 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] ULTRA BIG chondrule ??????? > Hello all. > I want know Your opinion about something "strange" I just discover on my new Maroco > chondrite while cutting.
