Hello Mark, Michael J., and List, NWA 4680 is one of my favorite meteorites from Carsten Giessler. It's a beautiful, fresh, brecciated L4-6 chondrite (S3; W1) with a TKW of 3830 gr. I have a complete slice and a broken individual. The latter has frothy, warty, black fusion crust with delicate wrinkles on its rear side, some lipping and flightmarks and there are clearly visible contraction cracks in the crust that nicely contrasts with the light-blue, cloudy matrix of this metal- and troilite-rich chondrite. My 52-gram slice features a 5mm metal- rimmed troilite inclusion. A beautiful meteorite!
Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
