Hello Greg and List,

As so often before, pictures often speak more than a thousand
words and sometimes they speak much less than a thousand
words. Either way, chondrule size is also an important factor
but it's difficult to judge just by looking at the pictures. To me,
at least some of the chondrules *seem* to be large enough to
consider an L classification ... a heavily shock-darkened L3
(maybe L3.5) chondrite, and, if really brecciated, maybe L3
with L4 and/or L5 lithologies.

Bernd
