Yes, at first glance, it is similar to Saratov, with one major exception, it is carbonaceous, and it lacks the large chondrules that Saratov is known for. You can pick chondrules out of Saratov, this one has very few, and only tiny ones. I will post some classification data on this meteorite within the next few days, it is in the lab and being worked on, I have received emails today regarding the classification, but can't post them until we get more data.
