Well that is one very cool looking feature indeed! And that's a good question Greg. But the thing that gets me is that the Widmanstätten pattern is basically complete. And what is that grayish material? It looks a little like troilite or cohenite. And then there are the small bright silver blobs inside that material. Schreibersite?

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Michael and List,

Very cool Pic-o-Day! Those rounded "droplets" in the vug are very interesting. Do those look like 'melted' matrix droplets forming while this meteorite went through super heating at some point and created the gaseous voids (vugs)?

Best regards,
Greg
