Hi Bernd,
I've been thinking what this could possibly be too. It's pure speculation
really as pieces like this aren't seen too often. It's a small stone so I'm
guessing one half may be an inclusion. I'm going to go completely outside
the square here and say that it *might* be a CK4 (breccia?) that represents
different areas of the parent body. Something makes me think of the CV3's
and how some specimens show different inclusions that have metamorphosed
differently from other areas on the parent body. Maybe by one of or a
combination of aqueous alteration, heat and impacts. These different areas
would then have been intermixed through later impact events.
Just a thought! ;-)
Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: [meteorite-list] Stefan's New Find
Hello Fred, Stefan and List,
"The darker side looks like a CV3, but the fair grey one?"
The uncut main mass: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/carb-ungesch.jpg
The cut surface: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/carb.jpg
Ever since Stefan first showed me this unique specimen in November 2008,
I've been wondering and brooding what this might be. My very first idea
was
that this might be a CK-like chondrite, then I thought it might also be
some
kind of E-chondrite and from there, it was just another (hypothetical) hop
to the assumption that this could be a Kakangari-like chondrite (???)
What do you think?
Bernd
