Hi Adam, and List,

Looks like an awefully weathered, and highly serpentinized chondrite
to me, although this doesn't fully explain the distinct layers (?) that
can be seen in this specimen. The photo isn't too good, and maybe the
"layers" are in fact schlieren that often look a bit like sedimentary
layers. Just my two weathered OC's ;-)

Best,
Norbert
