Hi Jeff and all,
This is a wonderful photo of the type of radial pyroxene chondrules
I've seen in NWA 2965 and its cohorts. Very nice job Jeff. This is
certainly a curious meteorite. I've been passing a magnet over the
slices in my collection and have noticed a few things. The pale, grey
speckled areas that appear fresh have little to no attraction to a
rare earth magnet. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was an
achondrite. However the brown veined sections are clearly attracted
and the thick dark veins practically pull the magnet out of my hands.
Are the veins hematite from weathering of iron-rich meteorite or
something else? Any comments and observations from the group would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
