[meteorite-list] A very wierd meteorite. Any ideas what it is?

[PolandMET]

Hello evryone,

   I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a meteorite like this? It seems 
to be like 25% Carbonacous and 75% O.C..
I was thinking it may be duel lithogy, but have been told that the black 
part is from a huge inclusion or chondrule and this is just a piece of a 
larger one. These pieces weigh about 150+ grams total.
   The dark part smells of sulfur and has a different crust on it then the 
rest of the meteorite. Take a look and tell me what you think it may be. 
Thanks.

Hi
Cool specimen. I think it is black inclusion (breccia) or large impact 
veins. I think the best idea will be to make thin section from both 
lithologies and send it to NAU or somewhere else. Specimen is big enough to 
cut one more thin slice. Im sure You have strange specimen of NWA 869 so 
there will be nothing new in bright half (L4-6), but maybe You can finally 
answer our question what kind of material consist all this black inclusions 
in NWA869.
