Hello Bill, List,
That is an excellent example of how these irons came to be. I've seen
some individuals with big flat squares of iron sticking out. One of the
stones I have is similar to the one you have but not as dramatic, the
metal is not peeling off, it's flat on the broken surface and is about
1/4 inch x 1/8 inch and very thin.
Regards,
Larry

Hello Larry and List,�
�
I also have quite a few irons from Franconia that show what appear to
be impact craters in them.�
�
Here is a slice of the Franconia H5 actually showing one on the
controversial irons that was in the process of separating from it's
chondrite parent. Or at least this is how it looks to an amateur ;) At
any rate these are very interesting photos...�

Hello List,�
�
Good morning, I just finished uploading some cool pictures to my
webshots > page. The Franconia irons, (most likely metal fragments from
the H > chondrite,) occasionally have impact craters on them. I have
photographed > them at 40X and 100X. There are pictures of a perfectly
oriented "BB" with > craters, views of micro flow lines, and 'crater
fields' in miniature!�
See the last photo album on this page;�
