http://www.meteorite-times.com/meteorite_frame.htm Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for sharing with us! You just gotta love those beautifully striated pigeonites and for those curious minds who want to know: These striations are exsolved augite lamellae. Those small whitish crystals in the fully cross polarized micrograph, that's probably recrystallized plagioclase. That large white crystal at center looks like an enstatite (orthopyroxene) crystal and those opaque "blebs" in the last but one micrograph, well, not sure, but that could be chromites (FeCr2O4). Best from Germany, Bernd ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
