Hello Dean and list,
Interesting looking meteorites.  
Several of them remind of my (overpriced) eucrite Cachari....very gray.

Interesting meteorites Dean. The first appears to be a have lot of reddish color or oxidization (weathering) in it.....something you do not see that often in achondrites (as most of the others appear). It looks like a lot like a regolith chondrite to me.

The fourth one....looks brecciated.....and is full of very large plagioclase crystals....the darker gray inclusions, but not the black inclusions. Similar to what you see in Martian meteorites (which it is not)....or in the Johnstown diogenite. I haven't noticed a lot of them on any of my eucrites.....but my eucrite collection is rather small. Also notice the large green inclusion in #8, which appears paired with the gray grouping. (Howardite?)
