http://www.geocities.com/rlewis6/Spherules_MERB.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the meteorite JaH 073 there are very small spheres. My guess is they are micro concretions perhaps indicating a water action at some point in this find. Too small for direct observation. At a magnification of about 350X they show up nicely. They have been dismissed as chondrules, but I would say with as much certainty as is reasonable in such cases, they are not. Some are in my micrograph gallery (http://www.meteorite.com/meteorite-gallery/meteorites-alpha_frame.htm ) under JaH 073 but if you like this sort of thing, just ask and I will send you more spherule shots.
