[meteorite-list] Opinions On An Unclassified Saharan

[Jeff Kuyken]

G'day List,   I have just received a nice little unclassified saharan meteorite from the Hupes which is very different to any other pieces I have. It has peaked my interest and since there is so much knowledge in this list, I thought I'd ask for opinions as to what the classification may be. I would take a somewhat semi-educated guess at an LL4 but I'm really not sure. The meteorite is only 9.5g and has been cut into 4 pieces. It has a very sandy texture or make-up and has many black chondrules/inclusions (what are they?) through-out the matrix. It is a little difficult to see in a photo compared to 'up-close and personal' but those black parts look kind of like little round pieces of charcoal.
