@Ian Macleaod; the gray inclusions are an impactmelt an from the mother-body itself. Its an impactmelted rock that fell back to the motherbody and got there inkluded to the regolith. |

I wonder if this impactor inclusion was from the first event that sent 869 on its way to Earth or the second even during its travel? |

Hi Michael,
always a phantastic meteorite. Every slice that you cut will show new variations. |

NWA 869 and its' pairings are a diverse/amazing regolith assembly. Once this meteorite was labeled as a L5...now it is properly defined as a L3-6. Similarly I think Gold Basin can easily be a L4-6, as recently suggested in a paper and related typing of the new find. Gold Basin to me has always been a sssssstretchhhhh as a L4. |
