Just tried, Bernd: the magnet was clearly attracted by the beetle. OC H, most probably. |

Matthias, how strongly does it respond to a strong magnet. That might help cautiously "classifying" it as an H, an L or an LL chondrite. No response at all may hint toward something achondritic. |

Thank you, Bernd. When the package arrived and I opened the box I realized immediately: a beetle. A real bug. |

Definitely a flight-oriented beauty with prominent flow lines. Thanks for sharing, Matthias! |
