Hello Bernd, Dave and all,

I also have a small oriented individual of this find. What I like is the
fact that there is original crust on the piece, a bit weathered, but not
covered with a thick coating of desert varnish or lost through wind
polishing like so many NWA's. As Bernd pointed out, you can actually see the
different fusion crusts and flow lines on his piece. My individual shows
some nice lipping too.

Sincerely,
Frank
