Hi Greg and List,

This does make sense and we've seen that before. Two examples:

1. Zag (H3-6)
2. Tamdakht (H5)

The darker, less metamorphosed areas show abundant, often well-defined chondrules.
That's why I purchased some of Marcin's Tamdakht fragments even though I already
had 4 pieces but in these the chondrule-poor, lighter-colored areas prevailed.


Best wishes,

Bernd
