G'day List,

I also just took a look at the really interesting article on oriented =
meteorites in this month's Meteorite Times. The opening paragraph got me =
thinking about one of my pieces.

"I saw a small iron this last month that was oriented in a very strange =
manner. It had a melted lip on both sides. That is an interesting =
trick." - Jim Tobin (Meteorite Times, September 2002)

So just how do you get a specimen like this? I'm sure someone out there =
could give a good answer. I would love to know. I have included the link =
below to a page I quickly put together showing my piece and another =
interesting little Taza as well. Also, I have included a link on that =
page for those that were following the Best Multi Coloured Chondrules =
thread.

Hope you all enjoy and would also like hearing any responses.

Thanks,

Jeff Kuyken

  Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Times - Oriented Irons

  Hello Everyone,

  I just got a chance to look at Jim Tobin's article on oriented irons =
at Meteorite Times (www.meteoritetimes.com). For those new to =
meteorites in general and oriented meteorites in particular, I would =
highly recommend reading this article and examining the pictures Jim has =
posted. I often see meteories described as "oriented" when in fact (to =
me) they really do not appear to have the characteristics we =
traditionally ascribe to an oriented meteorite. Jim's article should =
leave no doubt as to what an oriented iron looks like. I like Jim's =
analogy of rain running off a car windshield.

  Nice job Jim.

  Best wishes,

  -Walter
