Re: [meteorite-list] Pallasite Vs Mesosiderite

Thank you all who responded. To recap and sum this up, would it be fair to say that a mesosiderite is material from the crust-mantle-core that has been violently mixed mush like oil and water that is rapidly shaken and almost instantly frozen? And is a Pallasite is material that is from the

[meteorite-list] Next Question

I get the idea behind how the thumbprints are formed. But, what happens to the drops of molten iron? Do they just peal away and are vaporized or can they make it to the ground? Is this how the sphereoids are formed? Related question An oriented meteorite is one that was stable in flight. I see

Re: [meteorite-list] Zaklodzie and TKW's

That unweathered inner part of Zaklodzie had very distinct edges; I was also surprised to see the (relatively) huge metal blebs in the slices. I would think that there would be an area of most weathering closest to the exterior, and a more graduated progression as the elements slowly seeped
