That's definitely Troilite. I've heard you can brighten it up with a pencil eraser, but use caution, as it scratches easily. Steve Steve Witt IMCA #9020 http://imca.cc/ --- On Thu, 8/19/10, Yinan Wang wrote: > From: Yinan Wang > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Iron met

Hi Yinan, The dark inclusions could be graphite. Troilite often has a "brassy" coloration to it. Do you have a photo of the slice? Best regards, MikeG On 8/19/10, Yinan Wang wrote: > Hi everyone, simple question: > > In an iron meteorite, when etched, what do the troilite and > schreibersit

2010-08-19 Thread Yinan Wang
Hi everyone, simple question: In an iron meteorite, when etched, what do the troilite and schreibersite inclusions look like? I have a slice of canyon diablo and I'm seeing dark round nodules (the troilite) and silvery dendritic material (schreibersite?). Which is which? Thanks, Yinan __
