[meteorite-list] Green spot in chondrite

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi Bernd and Rob,

That would be my first guess too Bernd. But the crust has me stumped. I 
can't work out if it's a weathering effect or different material underneath. 
It does look similar to eucritic fusion crust even down to the cracking 
though. Weird!

Cheers,

Jeff
