VNIR spectra of two end-member grain sizes of Norton County (slab and <45 μm powder) plotted against NEA 2023 DZ2 and main belt asteroid (434) Hungaria. Even with identical composition for the same meteorite, the grain size effects seen in Norton County may explain the discrepancies in 2023 DZ2 versus (434) Hungaria spectra (rough NEA surface versus fine-grained main belt surface). All spectra are set to unity at 1.5 μm.
