[meteorite-list] Bull's-eye chondrule assumptions

[Göran Axelsson]

Me to!  Me too!

  :-)

I also have one of these plated "pacman" condrules in a NWA 869. 
Actually my first
meteorite and my first cut. I also have an armored condrule in the same cut.

I really like the NWA 869 meteorite, it got everything in it.
