Aloha Count - and all... Just had a look at both the xpol and regular light. I think what we have there is - first of all, an area with no material except the adhesive used to adhere the rock to the slide - And, within that area, some bubbles in the adhesive.
Now - in the xpol image, the artifacts are in the same location as the bubbles - so, I agree, they are likely to be reflections... If you look at other areas, top left, and a few other "empty" spaces - you can find other bubbles, and other reflections. Now to see if they are in the higher magnification images :-) Cheers - ted --- On Sun, 9/19/10, countde...@earthlink.net <countde...@earthlink.net> wrote: > From: countde...@earthlink.net <countde...@earthlink.net> > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Gigapan and Barratta Thin Section > Date: Sunday, September 19, 2010, 10:56 AM > Good on ya..
