[meteorite-list] AD - 11.5g Esquel Slice

Great article, though this paragraph about other "meteors" being found need editing: "Other meteors have been located in ancient ruins of the Americas, as well as around the world, ranging in size from the three ounce Pojoaque meteorite, found in an ancient pottery bowl near Santa Fe, N.M., to t

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a small endpiece of what I assumed was probably a pairing to NWA 5546. After cleaning it up a bit, I noticed an overall elongation and orientation of the chondrules.  I was wondering if anyone else would agree from the picture at the link below. http://i25.phot
