Ziyao writes:
Petrography (from MetBul): The specimen has a poikiloblastic texture (mean grainsize ~300 µm) with no preserved chondrule structures. Chadacrysts of olivine are enclosed within larger oikocrysts of low-Ca pyroxene. Accessory phases include sodic plagioclase, stained kamacite, troilite, chromite and merrillite.

poikiloblastic texture with chadacrysts...OK, if they say so...and an Ordinary Chondrite. Rare meteorites are always extra special like this one...congrats Ziyao.
