Their must be field examples of achrondrites found without fusion crust.? The metal bearing chondrites can be identified after fusion crust is gone but what about achrondrites?

Sometimes while hunting a dry lake bed with nothing around for miles you find this basalt in the proverbal middle of nowhere!!!

What would you look for before sending a sample to one of the meteorite classifying labs?

Thanks for your help.
