Hello all I picked up Matt Morgan's piece a couple years ago and did have it CT'd. Quite striking resolution and a non-destructive way to analyze the ring formation. I have not taken the images to any horticulturist to weigh in on but I'm willing to make the CT disc available to science for evaluation upon request. I was given the source by Matt and have no concerns regarding it's authenticity.
http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/sikhot-tree.htm Two more tree specimens can be seen here and one of them is headed for CT due to purchaser request. I left them up but both are sold. Same source for all of these specimens including Anne's. http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/SA.htm Rob Wesel www.nakhladogmeteorites.com www.facebook.com/Nakhla.Dog.Meteorites www.facebook.com/Rob.Wesel ------------------ We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of the dreams.

And yes, OOoppps............. I did write twice the same link, so here is the real link to the picture of the 2 Vernadsky Sikhote-Alin. _http://www.impactika.com/images/2s-alin.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/images/2s-alin.jpg) Sorry!

Plus the dealer who had it is an impeccable source and also a geologist. I bought one from him a couple of years ago and sold it to another dealer (don't want to drop names) who had it examined by an MRI at a well-known University. The University, if I recall, said the tree was old enough and the meteorite did in fact alter the tree growth structure (I.e. It wasn't hammered into a crack in the tree). Maybe he can chime in...

Thank you Dr. Vann, Dr. Ted, Dolores, everybody, for all the great posts! I have learned a lot about trees today! ;-) Dr Vann, if I was a little closer to Philadelphia, I would be driving right over to show it to you. Your analysis and interpretation is amazing, and very helpful. If more pictures could help in any way just say so, I would be delighted to send you some close-ups. And just in case, I posted this one to my site: _http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg) Please do let me know what you see there. Thank you very much. And for everybody else, and since some did ask, here is a picture of the two Sikhote-Alins from the Vernadsky Institute: _http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg) Enjoy.
