Dear List,

It's very uncommon to find in an ordinary chondrite, clasts from a different
ordinary group.
NWA 5764 is such a meteorite.

"together with St-Mesmin, NWA 5764 is the only ordinary chondrite breccia to
contain an unmelted xenolith from another ordinary chondrite group."

Abstract for the MetSoc meeting of 2009 in Nancy (France):

And the complete story including photographs on my webpage:

I'm offering my thin section (only one available) that shows both
lithologies, for sale:

(prepared by Steve Schoner's PetroSlides)

As I just don't know what price to ask for this unique thin section, I will
sell it for the highest reasonable offer within the next two days.

Thanks,
