Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - September 7, 2009

Hi Michael and List, Very cool Pic-o-Day! Those rounded "droplets" in the vug are very interesting. Do those look like 'melted' matrix droplets forming while this meteorite went through super heating at some point and created the gaseous voids (vugs)? Best regards, Greg
