Thanks for the comments everyone. I should have taken a photo to better portray the metal. It is very strongly attracted to a magnet and has more, fine, and evenly distributed metal than any other chondrites in my collection. Simon's suggestion is of course intriguing and even the crust closely resembles the picture on meteoritestudies. I also found the MPOD photo (Nov 23,2014) and others for NWA 4835 which also look a lot like it. Certainly one of my more interesting "finds". |

Anne, you're right! And, even though an L-chondrite, my M.T. slice is very strongly attracted to a magnet! |

It reminds me of Mount Tazerzait. Another porous meteorite. |

to me is has similarity to NWA 1463 that would put it in the primitive winnonaite class, the texture is very much like the pieces I have esp if it has alot of visible metal and is very strongly attracted to a magnet , |

and, by the way, these countless pores are also very interesting! |

Beautiful slice, Phil! What do you think it is? How strongly does it respond to a magnet? Chondrules are not large enough for an LL. My guess would be H5. |
