[meteorite-list] Re: Meteorite "Scratch Test"?

So, hypothetically, if you're not supposed to be able to scratch the fusion crust of a meteorite with a sharp object such as a knife, how do meteorites such as Bensour receive "skid marks" when landing on sharp stone surfaces? Ryan -Original Message- From: "Matson, Robert" <[EMAIL PROTE
