Hi Darren
Chondritic meteorites come from asteroids that aren't quite large enough to
have completely melted, but usually still large enough to cause some thermal
alteration. The heat that was present might have made the chondrules
sufficiently pliable that they squished into oval shapes due to

silicosis).
In my experience once you have achieved the desired result, it is VERY
important to clean the surface of the rock, since dust sits in the
Darren and list,
I have seen Some pieces of NWA 869 that have similar oriented
Chondrules, (even though some people have classified it as a 3.8),
maybe its due to some sort of early impact deformation, otherwise you
would you not expect the chondrules to be a lot more indistinct? ...
That's true, if it were simply a case of the chondrules being more pliable
and there being more weight above them, then the degree of orientation
should increase with increasing petrologic grade. If Mark is right then the
effect should be more common in shocked and brecciated meteorites.

True, I suppose it could be some sort of 'flow effect', as the finer
matrix material interspersed with the Chondrules, presumably when the
whole rock coagulated it would have been very loose (and hot) at first
before being compacted under the mass of rock. Perhaps Oriented
Chondrules originate

Nice piece! As Martin mentioned, probably not dual oriented but certainly
not what I'd call shrapnel either! For a good example of dual orientation
have a look at the little Taza individual on the page below.
