Classification: L6 Impact Melt Breccia
Feature:  
Chico New Mexico found in 1954.  This meteorite is classified as a L6 ordinary chondrite IMB (Impact Melt Breccia)  A total of 105 Kg is known.
I was fascinated by the "bacon" looking feature of this stone.  Although all my micrographs are of this feature, it is sparse in the sample.
