Hi Tim and List, i only wonder about this photo. Schlieren bands can be seen only after etching. But the slice on your photo is not etched. I think the slice is polished to a mirror and now the clouds in the sky are reflected in it.
Thats are Schlieren bands in slices of Gebel Kamil: http://www.meteorite-mirko.de/images/gebelkamil16.7g.jpg Best regards Mirko Mirko Graul Meteorite Quittenring.4 16321 Bernau GERMANY Phone: 0049-1724105015 E-Mail: m_gr...@yahoo.de WEB: www.meteorite-mirko.de Member of The Meteoritical Society (International Society for Meteoritics and Planetery Science) IMCA-Member: 2113 (International Meteorite Collectors Association) --- Tim Heitz <midwestmet...@earthlink.net> schrieb am So, 3.10.2010: > Von: Tim Heitz <midwestmet...@earthlink.net> > Betreff: [meteorite-list] New Gebel Kamil meteorite with Schlering bands, > what do they look like? > An: "Meteorite List" <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> > Datum: Sonntag, 3.
