Hi Rob,

be a very special one indeed.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Proudly presenting NWA 5764 LL6-L4,the first ever
LL-L chondrite
Dear List,
I want to share with you the special event, of the first meteorite I have
had classified, that has been fully approved by the Nomenclature Committee
of the Meteoritical Society.
And a special meteorite it turned out to be!
The unclassified 502g Acfer I bought in 2003 was given an NWA name due to
the unavailability of find coordinates.
NWA 5764 has been approved as an LL6-L4 breccia. The first ever LL-L
chondrite!
For Meteoritical Bulletin details, search for "NWA 5764":

Special thanks go to J. Gattacceca (CEREGE) and M. Denise (MNHN) for their
classifying effort.
Pictures of external and internal structure can be found at:

Enjoy!
Best regards,
Rob Lenssen
