Hi All, Recently I have read a few posts to this list that definitively claim that irons do not form a fusion crust. Yet, in Norton's "Rocks From Space", [pg 167 in my softbound edition] it clearly states the following;
"Iron meteorites have the thinnest crust of all, usually only a small fraction of a millimeter thick. A fresh crust is blue-black to black and looks like freshly welded steel. This crust is fragile and easily destroyed if the meteorite weathers for even a short time." So, which is true? Crust or no crust for irons?
