Hi Phil and List, Interesting stone. It looks slightly familiar to me - I cut a smaller stone that had a similar matrix.
BTW - I apologize for not answering your last email - things have been super-hectic around the house lately and I have fallen behind on my emails. It's a little hard to tell because of the lighting, but is the predominate color of your matrix reddish and do many of the chondrules have a bluish coloration to them? And, do you see any brassy-colored troilite mixed in with the usual metal flecks? It reminds me of the specimen in the links below. Except my smaller stone didn't appear to be porous. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/odd%20stone/red-chondrules-troilite-2.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/odd%20stone/red-chondrules-troilite-close3.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/odd%20stone/red-chondrules-troilite.jpg Best regards, MikeG On 10/3/09, Phil Morgan <roxfromsp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thought I'd a picture of a stone I cut this morning. > > It's straight off the saw but thought it an interesting mixture of > chondrule sizes, metal, and porosity. > > http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/pkmorgan/postingpics/Newtype3.jpg > > Regards to all, > Phil > ______________________________________________ > http://www.meteoritecentral.com > Meteorite-list mailing list > Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > -- .........................................................
