Pat Brown showed a 547g possible type LL4 NWA XXX with very low magnetic attraction and large chondrules; An oriented cone shaped NWA XXX, quite weathered; A 45g cut NWA XXX, possible LL3 with dense chondrules, black sparse matrix that might be primitive and finally, a 235g oriented shape also possible LL3.
Maxime: Punggur (prov) the granular texture is full of crystals, no chondrules, and loads of metal. NWA 12547 is a beautiful slice full of primitive L3 chondrules and melt matrix -paradoxical slice.
During Meteorite 101; Bruce Feingold shared a Lodranite NWA 13354. Mike Kelly shared a 5g Brachinite NWA 11756 Aydar Acapulcoite, and the type falls for many of the Achondrites Acapulco, Aubres, Angra Dos Reis, Lodran, Nova Urei and Winona. Martians showed were a 0.054g NWA 2737 (Chassignite) along with the SCN types Shergotty, Chassigny and Nakhla.
