Re: chondrule questions

[Jim Hurley <hurleyj@arachnaut.org>]

You can view a calibrated scale against a slice of Allende
to see typical chondrule sizes at

<URL: http://www.arachnaut.org/meteor/photos/allende-1.html >

That page has links to other chondrule photos (Axtell, David Weir's site, etc.).

For more about chondrules see Steven Excell's excellent article at:

   <URL: http://www.arachnaut.org/meteor/chondrules.html >

Photomicrographs of various chondrules (mostly from Saratov)
may be viewed from the list at

I don't know the maximum size of a chondrule - most are a few millimeters or less
in size. Perhaps a really large chondrule may be close to a centimeter in size.
