Hi Listees! I have this oddball meteorite in my cabinet that I have had for a long time. I liked the way the outside looked, so I kept it. When I finally bought I saw, I cut this specimen open and was pleasantly surprised. It's a real oddball - perhaps a breccia of some type. The first photo doesn't show it well, but there is metal fleck present. Has anyone ever seen a specimen like this? Can anyone take an educated guess as to what it might be?

The brecciated features faded into the matrix and became very hard to see, but it made the sparse metal fleck easier to see when the specimen is tilted the right way, in this last photo - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/breccia-dual/breccia-iron.jpg Best regards, MikeG -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites http://www.galactic-stone.com http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone ------------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
