I like "haystack4" in particular because of this neat contrast between the silvery FeNi enveloping those puzzle-like, golden troilite patches. Mike B. also inquired: Has anyone seen another example of a large shrapnel inclusion like this in a Chondrite? Well, not exactly "shrapnel" but similar-looking aggregates in my: 1. 40.5-gram slice: Slovak (H5; S3) - FeNi-troilite aggregate is 14 mm in longest dimension 2. 8.79-gram slice: Tanezrouft 080 [L(LL)5; S2; W2)] - 10 mm FeNi-troilite aggregate 3. 23.5-gram slice: NWA 4019 (AEUC; br;pm) - 10 mm triple FeNi-troilite aggregate Will send you pics in a private mail!
