I never get tired of looking at lunars! Thanks, Greg. The analysis comment: lacking obvious fusion crust - some of the pictures, esp. the first and third down compared to the fourth at WUSL, look pretty dark. Is that just the dark matrix? Secondary fusion? Weathered, glassy surface?

Hello Steve and List, My two pieces from Philippe Léa support your statement that Tamdaght has a very grayish matrix. I couldn't detect any chondrules, so H5 or H4-5 might be a good guess. We know that there are many shattered, mostly small pieces and one of my specimens seems to show

Hello Bernd, How can this technically be an 4-5 if there are no chondrules? I could understand sparse but isn't devoid a 6 or IMB? I have some 4and 5 grade Chondrules and while some may be weakly outlined they are still present. Or does this mean none actually none visible to the naked eye?
