Dear Meteorite Enthusiasts,

Following this years Tucson show, someone kindly gave the Center for Meteorite Studies half of an unknown (unclassified?) achondrite. It  looks like a coarse-grained ureilite. There is remnant fusion crust. See photos here

Does anyone recognize this? Does anyone have the other half? Has this been classified?

Thanks for your help,

Laurence
