Some of you may remember my posting over the past few days saying that I had
a slice of Gold Basin at UA right now to determine if a clast in it is
carbonaceous or not. I must say that I am somewhat embarrassed to say that
Dr. Kring emailed me this morning to say that the slice had somehow been
stained and is not carbonaceous. At the time I got it I hadn't seen many
Gold Basin slices and all I knew was that there was a large black area on it
that looked kind of unusual to my untrained eye.
I have no doubt what so ever about what Dr. Kring told me but I am now
wondering what would cause the dark areas in this chondrite? I may make
many mistakes (such as this one) but I always try to learn from them so I
don't do it again.
Thanks,
Rhett Bourland
