http://de.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/metmartinde/my_photos "NWA 4019 in general is a truely uncommon eucrite." The 23.5-gram slice with the triple feature is the one I purchased. "much pure iron inside, sometimes in large needle-shaped inclusions in the matrix." That's right! "I could understand such an inclusion in a surface breccia... for me a riddle." Well, Martin and List, according to Takeda et al., it could well be a "surface breccia" as you call it. Takeda calls them surface eucrites or lava-like eucrites, but, alas, here again, NWA 4019 doesn't quite fit. So, only microprobe work and thin section analysis will tell us more about this unique eucrite. Reference: TAKEDA H. (1997) Mineralogical records of early planetary processes on the howardite, eucrite, diogenite parent body with reference to Vesta (Meteoritics 32-6, 1997, 841-853).
