Over three years ago Jim Strope, catchafallingstar.com (He has samples for sale) provided to me a Lunar thin section of NWA 2977. This particular slide has a nice band of crust!
I have shared many images of this slide but I was never able to get the crust just right. Well now I have some images which you crust lovers may like. There is a crystal structure in the melt! I am working at a high level of magnification (1600X) in incident (reflected) partially cross polarized light using oil immersion. This level of magnification is approaching the workable limits of optical microscopes. Once again, I will make an update to my micrograph gallery as soon as possible but for now a set of the images has been put up on the Face Book Tom Phillips' Meteorite Photomicrography Page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=119298541434619 Please take a look. This is a public page where every one can post comments or even their own images. Thanks, Tom Phillips ______________________________________________ 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
