Those "C-chondrite" clasts do look like ones seen in some R chondrites to me,
like with NWA 2943, which was discussed on the list a while back.  Like the ones
in this slice, for instance
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320027035483 (sold for
$142.69 a gram?  When the seller still has slices on his web site for $15 a
gram?  Damn!).  Also see this:
