Hello List,

Well, these are two armored chondrules, and if the enclosing
material doesn't have that metallic luster typical of nickel-iron,
it is either finely-dispersed (spray-like) FeNi metal or troilite
(FeS) that jackets the respective chondrules.

> This pic is more just of the rectangular thing.

If something round can have a metallic rim, why shouldn't something
rectangular not be/have been exposed to the same process? Let's
call it an armored clast.
