Adam, et al.:
Here's another piece to the puzzle. I just
received one of the now well-known micros from Steve Arnold, and wasted no time
putting it under my stereo microscope. It is mostly fusion crust, and
appears to be quite metaliferous.
More to the point, it has a very small -- but
striking -- cluster of black/dark-brown glassy spherules which appear identical
in color and texture to the material shown in the images accompanying your
email.
If I have the story straight, Steve collected these
fragments from the Winslow Street impact site, so neither shingles nor tar paper
were involved. Whatever this stuff is, it seems associated with the fusion
crust. Others may want to more closely examine appropriate pieces for
similar occurrences.
