Dear List It happened that I found a strange white stone. I cut it into several slices and found inside an usual chondritic texture and that it looks very fresh, but has no crust , no crust at all, and it is not weathered. Even on the ground facing side I found no relict of any crust. This meteorite is not too much sand blasted as other finds in the same field are. A starnage object.
A slice and a fragment were send to Michele Bourot Denise at Museum d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris. it is a fresh LL6 W0/1 S2 ! confirming it is a meteorite . Further analyzes are planned. It is very poor in metal and is at the limit of the LL class, but not yet a R chondrite. You can see photos of that amazing stone on the following page. http://www.caillou-noir.com/swa03008.html I wander if any other fresh chondrite with no crust were found.
