Yo, An acapulcoite might have a chondrule, but a lodranite, given the increased metamorphism, highly doubtful. That's what differentiates lodranites from acapulcoites - larger grain size due to more intense/prolonged periods of metamorphism. I would say a mesosiderite - compare to Clover Springs or

Hi Bernd and Greg, It is so strange that is for sure. I don't know what it is but it has about the same metal as an H chondrite and the olivine of a diogenite but the (possible) chondrule of a lodranite. Go figure Whatever it is I have never seen anything quite like it. On Mon, Oct 5, 200

Hi Bernd, Thanks for the comments. We do have reservations about "if" it really has a chondrule or if it is just a round inclusion. However, some of the most knowledgeable people in the world have guessed high metal diogenite (as it is loaded with metal) or lodrinite or other primitive achondrite-

Wow! Congratulations on the "new" NM strewnfield and on what is probably a very rare achondrite meteorite. *If* it is an achondrite, then there's something wrong about the "lone chondrule" ;-) If there are chondrules and if this "loner" is a chondrule, what about an E-chondrite - maybe anomalous?
