Re: [meteorite-list] Odd meteorite.
Hi Eric and List, The pictures of the odd ones made me think of a little oriented stone I bought last year: http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/43g_NWA.html Like you, I find it too nice to cut, but have been wondering ever since what it might be... I have been thinking LL or achondrite. It has a light achondrite-like matrix, and the typical cracked fusion crust, but also has a few rather large (upto 2-3mm) blobs of (magnetic) metal popping out of the crust. I know HED's, for example polymict Eucrite, also can have free metal, but this one just looks different.

Phil, Hmmm Yeah, but I'm still not so sure. It is close. The gray-green or blue crackly crust is very similar but there's not many high resolution photos of the Sahara 03500 crust. I have an oriented piece that I think might be of the same material on my site. Problem is it's oriented so I would have to sand a window or CUT it to see the interior which I'm not ready to do just yet... h I've added photos of the oriented piece on the odd meteorite page. http://www.meteoritesusa.com/odd-meteorite.htm Are these specimens all the same?

[meteorite-list] Odd meteorite
Just finished re-sanding this odd-looking NWA. A 178 gram half-stone with highly weathered exterior but filled with clean metal. Seems to be a breccia with angular fragments and possible melt pockets. Could the white areas be terrestrial weathering? http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/temp/ __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Odd meteorite
Hey Darren, Some of those white areas are located in the middle of the slice. Those on the edge would be susciptable to terrestrial weathering but unless the middle had been exposed to the same conditions you'll maybe have to look for another cause.
