i have recently purchased a portales slice from one of the dealer websites that has incredible crust. it is thick and was obviously on the back side as it appears to have melted, had some run-in and then puddled up and other pieces of the rock blown off the front then sucked back behind it into the eddy have been "glued" into this thick crust(they even have some of their metal showing). some molten metal even ran in and puddled up on TOP of earlier formed crust. how hot are meteorites when they burn through (ball park in degrees F) ? what kind of heat is required to do this? has it beed duplicated in the lab? pix on request.
Enjoy the holiday season with great tips from MSN. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
