Hello Elton; This is a great description of the processes that are required to form the widmanstatten patterns in iron meteotites.I think.I especially like the introduction of phosphorus into the equation,as V.F. BUCHWALD stressed in his descriptions of iron meteorites.I have noticed that the irons with the most phosphorus content seem to oxidize more rapidly after introduction into the earths terra firma.Your description is refreshing in that it gets us back to the basics of iron meteorite analysis,the newer researchers seem to blow by P. in their descriptions of irons.I think.
Thanks for sharing with the list and good luck. Best Regards;Herman Archer. IMCA # 2770 **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines.
