Meteorite: Sayh al Uhaymir  (SaU) 001 
Classification: L4/5 W1 S2
Feature:  

Over 408 Kilograms were collected of this ordinary chondrite.  Is it just another ordinary chondrite?
 
SaU 001 is my favorite meteorite on a scope.  I find structures in this meteorite that I just don't see in other material.  I have hundreds of cool SaU 001 micrographs and, as many of them have been published, here are a few of my favorites that haven't been seen already.
