Yes Matthias, but harder to chew. Phenomenon is only a unanswered question. I question the matrix of every meteorite that I'm able to handle, always left with, How did this happen? Armored Chondrules, hmmm, Molten metal winds up in a viscous matrix, what caused its coalescence? For those still reading: I thought of what processes occur when a hard boiled egg is dropped into ice water, almost instant separation of the interior. In other words,,,I give, Yes, A fascinating phenomenon, Bernd. Thank you Ron, very nice.

I love CR2s with their well defined armed chondrules.
