I recommend anyone interested in this topic to read Martin Horejsi's interesting article on Leoville CV3.0 in MeteoriteTimes!

(Sorry, last question of the night.) Anyone know anything about "oriented" chondrules in a meteorite? I was looking at the scan of that condrite that I had shown in the question about polishing (thanks to all who gave advise, by the way) and noticed that, for objects in the matrix that are oblong, the long axises of a large percentage of them seem to be aligned in a prefered direction rather than point in random directions. Here is the base image: http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/base_image.jpg And one with arrows added to a few of the larger objects. Many other chondrules seem to tend to be aligned in the same direction. http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/flow_direction.jpg ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
