That observation I didn't made. Some have shock veines, some not. Anyway shock veines are a result of impacts on the parent bodies, so if there are more veines in Dhofars, it's just by chance.
Dhofars have more cracks than Saharian W3-4. Martin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 8.

However I still wonder why many of the Dhofar chondrites have so many fine shock veins compared to the NWAs. Any thoughts?

Buckleboo! Martin - Hi all, I've seen a good number of Dhofar and NWA common chondrites and I've noticed that there are many among the Dhofars which exhibit highly weathered interiors laced with rich, thread-like shock veins. These veins seem to be far less common in NWA chondrites and I wonder why. Can anyone shed light on this little mystery (for me)? Thank you!
