Hello All, There are now 6 Erg Chech pieces in my collection + an Erg Chech thin section. The TS comes from Philippe Thomas, a 20.32-gram slice (IMB variety) comes from Andi Gren, the other 5 specimens are all from Philippe Thomas and they are all top quality, fusion-crusted pieces and are definitely "flight-marked".
Today I got my 11.46-gram individual (purchased on EBay from Philippe) and this piece is clearly *flight-oriented* because it features conspicuous radial flow lines with a roll-over lip and a warty rear side. Where fusion crust has been spalled off, you can see distinct chondrules embedded into the greyish lithology of the brecciated matrix. There are plenty of thick, molten and solidified metal blebs and in a small crack of the warty rear side you can even see shiny metal protruding through a tiny part of this crack. Philippe and Léa, thank you so much for this beauty! Shakespeare in Love, ... no, Bernd in love with his little, oriented Erg Chech ;-) To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
