Re: [meteorite-list] King Tut cross section
Hi Bob, Elton - Indeed a thing of beauty. But then I suppose that by definition beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The super-nice cut is really nice work, however, and that is no question of personal tastes. As far as the vesicles go, Elton, I would tend to think that a lower pressure on the back plane would account for them. What was vaporizing is a really good question. E.P.

Re: [meteorite-list] King Tut Meteorite
Greetings, Great photos Bob! #3 is a remarkable cross section of a heat shield form of orientation. Which suggests that the temperature signature of the shielded portion might be deciphered. The flow which pooled to the sheltered area is about as full of vesicles as I have ever seen only surpassed in one of the lunars. When the melt has time to come to a boil-- so to speak, are there additional gases released from the meteorite's matrix or does this represent some atmospheric mixing / frothing. The frothing seems to increase with later deposits. Anyone have thoughts on the dynamics of how this unique crust formed and perhaps the duration? A percentage of mass has been moved into the sheltered zone and I wonder how long it took to pool there then come to a boil. On the other hand, the sudden presence of the vesicles near the rear surface might be reflect a correlation to a thicker atmosphere toward the end of flight. Inquiring minds...

Re: [meteorite-list] King Tut Meteorite
Hi again Wayne, I noticed that the links to the MetBull database web site are temporarily broken again, and since you are mainly interested in seeing images of this meteorite, here are some links to images that I took in 2000: http://www.geocities.com/bolidechaser/azmets/kingtut013.jpg http://www.geocities.com/bolidechaser/azmets/kingtut014.jpg http://www.geocities.com/bolidechaser/azmets/kingtut015.jpg These images aren't the best quality, because I took them over 8 years ago, under low-light conditions on the kitchen counter-top at John Blennert's residence. But now I'm starting to see the similarity between these two specimens found almost 10 years apart. Curious to see similar close-up images of your find. Thanks for posting your find. Hope your find some more of these cute-as-a-button stonys.

Re: [meteorite-list] King tut?
Greetings John and list, I am so glad you explained what a leaverite is. All this time I've been carrying them home, sawing them in half and making myself nuts trying to find somthing in them that isn't there. I sure could have saved a lot of time and trouble if I had learned this sooner. By the way, do you know where I can find some discriminite?

Hi, There is a King Tut meteorite. It refers to the Pharoah's small personal knife made from a piece of meteoritic iron. It was found in the tomb. I believe Tut was wearing it around his neck.

Iron as tool making material was very rare in 1350 BC. Not sure if anyone actually did a scientific test to determine that it was meteorite iron.
