My guess would be that it's a polished endcut. Jim K

For example, from this recent entry (NWA 6580) approved yesterday - "Type specimens available at Cascadia include 1 piece originally 20.0 g, from which one polished thin section and one polished butt were made. Thompson holds the main mass." I did the usual Google Search ("polished butt") to find out what this was, and you don't want to know what the results of that search were. Let's just say, that is has nothing to do with meteorites or thin sections. So I have to ask the List - what is a polished butt?
