Hello Martin and List, Martin wrote: "I just measured the mega chondrule in my slice of Alfianello Italy slice. It is 11mm x 8mm and almost dead center in the face, and pretty much all alone."
Beautiful slice and wonderful chondrule with a nice-looking white rim! Is it a "bleached" chondrule? Martin inquired: "Is there really a 48mm chondrule in Djati-Pengilon? Got a pic of it anywhere? Can a whole meteorite be a single chondrule? Where did the list come from?" The list comes from this article in Meteoritics: Bridges J.C. et al. (1997) A survey of clasts and large chondrules in ordinary chondrites (Meteoritics 32-3, 1997, 389-394). The info on the 48 mm chondrule in Djati-Pengilon comes from David Weir. He described it as ellipsoidal and he posted this when we had a similar thread some years ago. To Bridges' list of megachondrules, I added the info on the 12-mm BO chondrule in my NWA 4679 (CK3.8) slice that I purchased from GIPO.
