Hi Adam-
Upon further review of the active auctions I must admit that it was one of the completed ones that reminded me of the dark inclusions.

That is the one I was thinking of, very irregular morphology and only at the periphery..but on closer inspection it does have different character than what I sent to CML/Japan.
Another reason to get a hold of some of this material if you haven't already. The CV parent body is giving us all kinds of clues right now.
Best of luck in this, looks cool.

Rob Wesel made this statement:
Looks exactly like the dark inclusion thread about a month ago, several scientists here and in Japan are working on it. Early unofficial thoughts are that it is solidified sediment, not chondritic. Have your UW group check in with Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory's Alex Ruzicka, may save some steps.
My response:
This is not an amorphos field but one that contains <1mm chondrules. Oxygen
isotopes are being plotted for both lithologies so we should know if it is
CM or what I suspect, A CO3.
Here is a link to a piece I plan on selling, the rest has been donated to
science. This image clearly demonstrates that chondrules are present in the
field:
