Hello John, Jeff K., Stefan, and List, When Alex Seidel and I got this beautiful R5 from Stefan, we echanged several mails re: classification of this R5 because we both felt we were looking at an R3-5 (my mail to Stefan dated Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2004). My collection piece (4.9 grams) is a triangular slice with fusion crust, numerous chondrules and several angular and subangular light-brown clasts. Some clasts seem to be composed of unequilibrated material and are a deep black color with chondrules and mineral fragments enclosed. Some chondrules have a thin black seam and one chondrule is a tightly packed aggregate of worm-like pyroxene laths in a white groundmass of anorthite (not quite sure if it *is* anorthite). Best wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
