Very detailed image, it's good to see someone else using zerene stacker here on Hive.

What is LL3?

Thanks! and good question. The chondrite class of meteorites is divided into subclasses based on petrology. The LPI site for NWA 8773 defines LL3 as: "An ordinary chondrite from the LL group that is petrologic type 3."
