G'day all,
Well tonight was the first decent night to get a look at the comet from
'Down Under'. I headed down to Melbourne's famous St. Kilda Beach to have a
look but alas there was too much cloud on the horizon. (The comet is chasing
the sun down at sunset here.) Some of you may also be aware

Hi Gary:
Are you certain those are Fe-Ni veins? I had a good chunk of NB and the
only veins were Fe-Oxides, in particular, hematite. NB is a pretty
weathered H5; I remeber it was coated with a several-mm-thick rind of
shale and a good amount of caliche.

Hi Gary,
I think making good pictures of meteorites is very difficult. Especially
when it comes to fusion crust. I personally think there is a diffence
between the two meteorites you refer to. The smallest one being mechanically
cleaned and darker gray, the other one unscratched and lighter
Hi Matt,
My best view of the veins is by photography, which is not my best talent, but
the 'shine'
of the veins match the 'shine' of the FeNi flecks, so I am making the
assumption they are
of the same minerology. I know - when I assume I make an 'ass' of 'u' and
'me'. LOL I
will have to
Thank you Bernd,
I have not seen shock veins fill with metal before and don't know if such is a
possibility. There are many other, finer threads of metal showing also in this
specimen.
More shock veins do you think? What mechanism would/could cause such an
effect?
Best,
Gary
On 14 Jan
On the specimens I have/had, the Fe-Ox wind or snake through the
piece. I never saw one actual Fe-Ni vein in any piece of Northbranch. I
am not saying there are none, but yours look like Fe-Ox. The Fe in the
meteorite has oxidized to form hematite, so the hematite is not
primary. Shock veins
Thank you Rob,
I will add links to your pages on the 'collections' page of my website. Good,
permanent
links are sometimes hard to find and it is always my wish to present the 'good
stuff' for
people to oooh and aahhh at. :)

Looking at the photo, you can see the oxide looks more like pencil lead
and the unaltered Fe-Ni flakes look like chrome.
There is some fresh metal along the margins of the oxide vein, however.
There is alos alot of oxide rimming the unaltered Fe-Ni flakes. Again
you can see the color
Thank you Matt,
I am now looking at specimens of both online and, of what I have seen, Portales
Valley is
very spectacular. This is the pic that caught my eye in the Monnig Museum;

It shows shock veins and
I see that now. Looking very closely it seems as though the central length of
the vein
is shinier than that at the ends. Perhaps less oxidation there? It doesn't
seem to show
such in the picture I have online - only under a loupe...
