Sounds cool. Looking forward to the results, even if just preliminary. You
are right when you stated that when looking at something so fresh that it is
difficult sometimes. I haven't seen this in person or under a scope, and we
all know that it is hard to impossible to say from photos.
Good luck with it.
Best regards,
Greg

No, it is carbonaceous. When you touch it, your hands
come away with black powder. I have seen enough
carbonaceous chondrites to recognize one. If it turns
out to be something else, it would be one of the
strangest meteorites on the planet. I think everyone
who has seen a piece in person agrees that it is
carbonaceous, including every scientist so far.

Hi Mike and List,
With that much metal and some chodrules, would an
"H" chondrite be a
possibility? For some reason "Zag" is popping into
my brain with regard to
the photos. This will be an interesting one once the
scientists study it.
Thanks for the photos.
Best regards,
Greg
