"The AGU abstract adequately and interesting explains the characteristics in 
light of it being an EL3 fossil meteorite with primary, unequilibrated 
components, with a very sparse abundance of chondrules."

I agree. After you understand the "fossil" aspect, it is easier to "see" the 
meteorite. Had the first weathering process not been so hard on the 
meteorite, I think we would have a lot more chondrules....such as there is 
in the lighter material.

"A public thanks to those owners of the various masses of this fossil 
meteorite who donated material for its in-depth study."

Once again I have to agree with David.  It is interesting to note, that if 
not for the moroccans breaking the meteorite up and it getting classified 
several times the way it did, the true classification might have been a 
never known (?).

Clear Skies...and snowy grounds,
