This section has distinct sulfide veins with occasional metal blebs caught in the flow.  This is a fine grained meteorite.

FOV 3.5 mm

NWA 725 Winonaite  or W Chondrite (Formerly acapulcoite) - probably paired with NWA 1052, 1054 and 1058

We see chondrules, relict chondrules and a well metamorphosed matrix.  The texture is like a type 5 or 6 chondrite.  See NWA 1054 Winonaite in Lauretta & Killgore pp. 232–235.

Dhofar 312 Acapulcoite - possibly paired with Dhofar 125 Acapulcoite

This is a finely textured acapulcoite.

FOV 3.5 mm

NWA 2871 Acapulcoite - paired with NWA 2656, 2699, 2714, 2866, 2989

There is discussion, in late 2007, that this pairing might be considered lodranites because of thier relatively large grain size.
