Hi list,  Paul got right on it and the NWA  969 LL7 micrograph taken at a 
magnification of 160X that I was sending out in  full resolution to any one who 
emailed me, is now available on a coffee  mug!  The site is 
http://www.cafepress.com/meteorites4sale  and the  cost is $10.99.  We have 
added no mark up so you pay what the production  company Cafe Press charges.

If you did not get the image, just email me  and I will send it as an 
attachment in full resolution suitable for printing up  to about an 8X10.

The cool part?  Alan Rubin, UCLA was kind enough  to take a look and offer this 
analysis of the image.  Now when some one  asks "What's on your coffee cup?"  
you can have the answer!


"It  is clear that the rock has been shocked and annealed.  The smudgy trails 
of  dark blebs are of metal and sulfide that were melted by shock and injected 
into  fractures.  The fractures healed during subsequent thermal metamorphism,  
probably the heat that was developed during the impact that caused the initial  
shock."

This is not a profit making thing.  Paul and I are always  working to raise 
awareness of Meteorite Time (The online Meteorite Magazine) and  my Meteorite 
Micrograph Gallery.  And also, the mugs are real cool!   I'm thinking Christmas 
gifts.
