John writes:
A thin 0.83 gram part slice of Mirko's unusual NWA 13400. This meteorite is a carbonaceous CL3.9, and is very dark with a fair amount of metal (some oxidized), large chondrules, chondrule fragments and other interesting features.

The shock looking lines are a combination of reflected (oxidized) metal, sulfides, etc. It is S2 shocked and has a lot of metal in some of the chondrules. This material is also a bit weathered at W2/W3.
