Hello Together,
many thanks for the all the interesting answers to my email. Yes, it could
be a CK/CV - if I look at Marcins photos of his NWA 4838, the pieces are
actually very similar, although certainly not the same meteorite. Here are
the two photos side by side:

The dark lithology could be a melted version of the light-grey lithology.
But it is somewhat strange that the dark lithology has apparent more free
iron metal than the light-grey area. I will of course keep the list informed
about the final classification. The stone is currently under examination by
Dr. Ansgar Greshake. Whatever it is, it is simply a strange thing, and a
great surprise indeed.
Best wishes,
Stefan

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
