Sorry about the double reply, Mike - I just relised my email was set in "Rich text".. So annoying...

Keep up the good work guys, and good luck in finding more stones/fragments!



Does it appear to be an ordinary chondrite?

Best regards

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!
