Hi list, Tom Phillips here, I have some crust micrographs taken in reflected cross polarized light of a thick slice of NWA 2371 an H4. The heating/cooling caused the crust to crystallize like nothing I have seen before.
I haven't posted them to the Gallery yet but it is well worth the time to email me and I will send some shots in an email. I would welcome any thoughts on this and if any one has noticed it before.
