Hi Zelimir, Vesicles in achondrites have always interested me too. I believe around half of the Dho 700 stones showed some form of vesicles. I have one of the 12 stones which does show a few small vesicles in the surface. You never know what they are like in the interior though.

Dear Dave, Very good micro-photographs. I have seen these on many pallasites under my microscope. Analysis has shown me that the rust looking trails are the remains of iron oxide solutions from galvanic corrosion action under either surface coatings or Olivine xls. They micro blast off easily.

[meteorite-list] Excessively Large Reward a bad precedent.
