Hi
Im just curous what is exactly a main difference between impact melted and
shocked chondrites.
I just have NWA2827 L5 S3-5/W1 shocked dark chondrite. I was really sure it
will be Impact Melt, becouse have holes inside, long iron flakes, and was
really hard and solid like glass.

Also what mean that chondrite is black ? Eg. Ghubara is L5 black,
xenolithic.Ofcourse its really black, but I think its not classified as
black becouse its black colored. It must be something else.
