Hi Michael, Matt, and List,
http://www.rocksfromspace.org/December_9_2008.html
MICHEL-LEVY M.C. (1988) A new component of the Mezö-Madaras
breccia: A microchondrule- and carbon-bearing L-related chondrite
(Meteoritics 23-1, 1988, 45-48):
Introduction (excerpt): The Mezö-Madaras L3 chondrite breccia is well known for
its numerous inclusions (xenoliths, clasts, lumps, .) . as well as for some
highly
unequilibrated mineral associations which have been discovered in it:
merrihueite*
and "ferric" silicates, cristobalite or trydimite, olivines and pyroxenes.
These are
present in the host also called "normal Mezö-Madaras", in which many glass-rich
chondrules are found. Most of the inclusions are of L4-5 types, similar to the
host
so that Binn calls them "cognate xenoliths". Some other inclusions are black .
[In] the black inclusion studied here . carbon is present, but the bulk
analysis does
not allow us to classify it with the major carbonaceous chondrite groups.
* Formula: (K,Na)2(Fe,Mg)5Si12O30
Conclusion (excerpt): Among the various components of the Mezö-Madaras
chondrite, a carbon-bearing material, different from the known classes of
carbonaceous chondrites, is dispersed through the whole stone and has been
found in a large lump.
Best wishes,
Bernd
