Re: [meteorite-list] grey fusion crust on a stony?
Hi Eric, Pat, Martin, Steve D, Jason and any other interested parties on the Met-List I managed to take a half-bad picture of the little grey stone in my earlier post. My excuses for such a bad photo are that it is tiny, so hard to photograph even through the scope. Also lighting is by the ring light on my scope so the true color is not there. Close though. One thing I was hoping to show with this picture is the cracks all over it. Inside appears to be somewhat of a root beer color outside is ash grey. Not sure if it is a meteorite but it is interesting to look at. I found it with my magnet rake. The little stone is strongly attracted to a magnet. It has little silvery specks showing on the outside. The whole stone looks like it would crumble if handled but actually it is not that soft. Anyway, just thought you might want to see what I was so curious about. Thanks everyone for the help on the grey crust question.

Re: [meteorite-list] grey fusion crust on a stony?
Looks quite volcanic to me. Something low in density and from the earth. The iron seems high, but the spectum from basalt to welded tufts can be iron rich. The crust part doesn't look very crusty to me. Other thoughts?

Re: [meteorite-list] grey fusion crust on a stony?
Maybe a better description of the grey color of the stony I was asking about would be to say it's the color of ashes. Sorry for the extra post on this.

Hi Mike, Yes... I've have numerous NWA stone meteorites with gray fusion crust. A couple of them were achondrites. Not sure what type of achondrite though. Do you have one?
