Hello Steve and all,

I have a couple pictures of Glorieta Mountain showing large regions of
etched iron with only a rim of classic pallasite-looking olvine intermixed
in the iron matrix.

The images are in the Gallery at the Meteorite Exchange at:

I agree with Steve when he said "Glorieta is a very unusual meteorite."

Cheers,

Martin
