Re: [meteorite-list] portales crust

[Frank Cressy]

Hello Ron and all, The following link is a closs-up of a Portales Valley individual taken from Jim Strope's picture gallery on his website (catchafallingstar).   http://208.55.105.193/index/pv491flow1.jpg   It seems to clearly show different crusts depending on the underlying material; either metal or stone. I think thin metal veins may be crusted over with a "stoney" material crust, but if the metal areas have a sufficient surface area, then they clearly show a difference. Maybe Jim can give us a better idea of scale??
