Hello Nigh an' Far Any takers for this one here? Matteo? => Is Albareto an L4, L5, or an LL4 or an LL5 chondrite? How "ultimate" is the classification that Ursula B. Marvin mentions in MAPS 36-9, 2001, A123 - see below. Does anyone have any reference(s) about who u l t i m a t e l y classified it as an L5 chondrite?
