Eman and list, when it comes to irons there is but one authority to refer to: Vaugn Buchwald. There is not the slightest doubt that the melted exterior of freshly fallen iron meteorites is called a fusion crust. In volume 1 page 49f. of his Handbook of Iron Meteorites Buchwald explains: Cuts

The only problem here is that EMan has changed the definition of glassy to make his argument work. Here is what Princeton says: Adjective €S: (adj) glassy (resembling glass in smoothness and shininess and slickness) the glassy surface of the lake; the pavement was...glassy with water-

Please Elton, don't make me laugh. This is no debate, nor is the use of this term weakly founded in the literature. It is as established and pervasive throughout the meteoritical literature as any term. The decades of use of the term fusion crust to describe the results of ablation on iron

I defined glass in a previous post specifically as that which is formed from fuseing/melting silicates. Which is closest to your thrid definition of glassy. This isn't a discussion of commercial applications of glass or philosophical ones. You missed the point of this whole arguement that

Hi All, Very interresting discussion. However, I think we may be discussion the wrong terms in this debate. To wit; Dictionary.com defines the two words, Fusion and Crust as: Fusion: 1. the act or process of fusing; the state of being fused. 2. that which is fused; the result of fusing
