[meteorite-list] Classification of Chondrites

[David Pensenstadler]

What timing.  I was just about to post some pics of an unclassified NWA that I received from Dean Bessey some time ago and ask listmembers if they could estimate the type.  

So, check the links below and give me your estimate.  The piece is about 1 3/4 inch x 1 inch.  Notice the large chondrule which is about 4 mm in diameter.  The blue flakes are actually metal.  My guess is H 4-5. (I won't even try to get it down to the tenths.)

I hope the photo quality is good enough to see the chondrules.
