Hello Marcin, All, It's probably impossible to say precisely what that melt is without tapping into those gas bubbles and checking out the composition of whatever gas (if any) is in there. Just because there is no other melt within the matrix of the meteorite itself does not rule out the

That may well be, there is no substitute to holding a piece in your hands to see it best. There are many oriented meteorites which exhibit the thick frothy crust on the backside, and many pieces have broken fragments re-solidified into the crust, so this must be one of them. Michael Farmer ---

Hello all, Looking at crust on various thin sections under the microscope it is very common to see a mineral, such as an olvine crystal, on top of the crust. It is not as even as it appears to our naked eyes. A few old photographs on my website illustrate this fairly well...
