Hi Larry and Frank, yep in the future I will be better versed at creating
photobucket files with specific pictures. Thos are pictures of our slice of
Abee and the shadows are from the fir trees overhead. We had so few sunny days
this summer that most folks here in the Northwest agree that Summer never
happened here. The shadows from the fir branches on the Abee slice are almost
as rare as the meteorite specimen, really! That shadow on the two edges of the
slices of eucrite run through all of the slices and it looks very much like the
heat rim seen on meteorites like you see on the Bagdad iron. But I think that
it is a weathering affect from desert heating maybe. We are donating a slice to
CML and to UCLA and they can tear them apart to try to figure out all the cool
stuff that is going on inside this amazing rock. I have got to get a microscope
with a good camera head on it. This breccia is really something that begs to be
shared with everyone!
Thanks to everyone who came up with suggestions for similarities. I really
liked the comparison with Dag 400, don't I wish!
Cheers, E.T.
