The photo of Haig shows concave depressions, not bulbous lumps. It’s not good photo perspective. The closest visual match to this stone would be something like Patos de Minas (the octahedrite), but comparing a relatively fresh desert stone with fusion crust — to a fissured, decomposing iron from

For those who are interested, there is a similar pattern on the Haig IIIAB iron, as illustrated on page 62 of the book Meteorites and their Origins by G. J. McCall (1973). On Fri, Aug 14, 2020 at 12:30 PM Michael Farmer via Meteorite-list wrote: > > I hate it. Almost 100% made of glue is my
