That's a great Gao specimen Gary. Here's an example of amazing Tamdakht
'hitch-hikers'!

Aloha Elton,
Also recently there was a NWA recovered which had small fragments
apparently
embedded in a black glass on one side suggesting that a swarm of
fragments
drafting the larger mass inside its slipstream. The swarm caught up to it
and
adhered to the fused pool of material on the downwind side of the stone.
What
has become of that recovery? Anyone formally researching it?
Not sure about that particular NWA, but I have a Gao with larger
ʻhitchhikersʻ that probably formed in similar fashion:
