Mmmmm... good pics Mike. Thanks. Seeing the cut surface actually makes me
think of one of my original thoughts on first seeing my fragment. Maybe it's
just a C3 (ungrouped)? It reminds me in way of some meteorites like the DAG
C3's. While a bit different, there are some similarities to my DAG 429
slice. (Pic about halfway down this page:

Cheers,

Jeff

Yes, at first glance, it is similar to Saratov, with
one major exception, it is carbonaceous, and it lacks
the large chondrules that Saratov is known for. You
can pick chondrules out of Saratov, this one has very
few, and only tiny ones.
I will post some classification data on this meteorite
within the next few days, it is in the lab and being
worked on, I have received emails today regarding the
classification, but can't post them until we get more
data.
