Hi Darran, List!

This is a oolithe, like Marc posted! You can see a lot of concentric rings,
thats untypic for chondrules! It´s very easy to test it, with a little drop
of HCl, should show a good reaction, cause oolithes are chalky! If you try
this on a meteorite, nothing should happen, cause they´re silicatic!

But I´m sure, this was only a sort of quiz, wasn´t it? ;)

Ingo
