Hi Eric and All,
Your interesting S-A specimens you call 'Confused' is similar to one I highlighted in one of my Accretion Desk articles a while back.
The Taza specimen I nicknamed a Duck's Foot has a similar double orientation. I spoke to either Jim Tobin or Paul Harris about it back then, and one of them had the wonderful insight that the piece might have actually spun like a wheel with the 'tread' side down thus orienting the piece around the rim, but also rolling back on both of the larger sides.
Here is a link to my article:
http://www.meteoritetimes.com/Back_Links/2003/July/Accretion_Desk.htm
and Duck's foot is about 1/2 way down the page.
Since that time, I have seen a few more of these oriented wheels, but all were irons.
Cheers,
Martin

I have a number of auctions closing this evening including an oriented allende
that is still sitting at $3.50/gm, a sikhote-alin oriented on both sides, molong
pallasite, as well as others.
