I'm still not exactly clear on what this is and I'd like to get a clarification. I recently acquired a small fragment of Tatahouine from Anne Black at Impactika. Besides having some fusion crust the specimen shows striations very similar to those seen in shattercones. (Thanks Anne for a beautiful and interesting specimen) Is this slickensides? I've included links to five images; No magnification - http://www.geocities.com/stelor96/Tatahouine028.jpg   You are very welcome. Thanks for the great pictures. You were very lucky to find some crust, but I see those striations relatively often on Tatahouine pieces. That is why this is still my favorite meteorite. Even though the pieces are small, if you look at them with a good loupe, you are always in for surprises And I would love to read an answer to your question!   Anybody?????????????     Anne M.
