Hi Geoff, I'd just started writing an email to Michael's post when I saw yours! ;-)
I have a Sikhote about the same size with just the same feature. It's really weird and hard to imagine how it formed. In my sample, it's almost like the surface melted and folded over and into itself. Looks a bit like ropy lava. http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/melt.html Cheers, Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: Notkin To: Meteorite List Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 12:37 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Re: Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - August 9, 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > http://www.spacerocksinc.com/August_9.html Dear Michael: Thanks for including that photo of mine in your ongoing project. I forgot to include a caption, and thought the details might be interesting to our fellow listees. Pictured is a 98.7-gram shield-shaped Sikhote-Alin with faint rollover lip and unusual surface features. Someone posted a similar photo last year (Matt Morgan?), showing that knotty pattern on a Sikhote. I can't remember the verdict on what caused that. Does anyone else? Michael, keep up the great work!
