A while back I think that someone mentioned (in a post that I can't find) that a piece of Tamdakht reminded them of Carancas. Well, I received a small (1.23g) fragment of Tamdakht yesterday, and the first thing I noticed is how weathered the patch of fusion crust was. But then I realized that it wasn't fusion crust-- the fragment had broken along one of those shock-melt planes as have been discussed and debated on list in relation to Carancas. So there is that similarity.
I couldn't get a really good photo of it, but these will give you an idea: http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll394/darrengarrison/Tamdakht/ ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
