Hi Bill, List
I don't know if you are all that interested in seeing one of my
examples with what looks like the matrix coating the outside but I
thought I would post a picture of the one little piece showing the
spherule I mentioned that is exposed in one of the little pits. I
know this picture isn't the best but in it you might be able to see
the grey material on the outside (somewhat). The picture was taken
through the low-power scope so not so good. IF this is a meteorite,
it would most likely be a H chondrite would be my guess. Very
strongly attracted to a magnet. I was thinking you previously put up
a picture of the stone you are describing? Seems I have seen another
one at some time anyway.
All the best,
Mike in CO

Mike,
No holes or pits. This is a fresh chondrite picked up hours after it
fell. The fusion crust has the matrix "sprayed" over it in a few
areas.

By chance, does it also have some fairly good sized holes or pits on
the outside of the stone? In the grey stuff that is on the outside is
there a sprinkling of small bits of dark brown material in it?

The grey fusion crust thread reminded me of a meteorite I have that
has the grey matrix frosted over the black fusion crust on about 20%
of the surface. It also has splashes of metal on the outside that
look as if they dripped on the crust like hot solder. Is this a
common characteristic of fresh stoney meteorites?
