Hello Jeff,

Good question about the duel orientation on a Taza iron. The specimen Jim
mentioned in his Meteorite Times article was one I showed him last month. I=
t
was an interesting little Taza that I picked up during a visit to the Hupe=B9
Brothers in July.=20

Here is a link to a website showing some pictures of it. Since noticing its
possibly-unconventional orientation (if that is what it really is), I have
seen an even better example of this effect on a Sikhote-Alin individual. I
know that one of you out there reading this has access to the S-A specimen =
I
am referring to, so hop in with a picture if you like.

Anyway, here is the link. Any thoughts on its formation are welcome. Perhap=
s
it is not orientation at all.

Cheers,

Martin

Hello Jeff, 
 
Good question about the duel orientation on a Taza iron. The specimen Jim m=

I also just took a look at the really interesting article on oriented meteo=

"I saw a small iron this last month that was oriented in a very str=

So just how do you get a specimen like this? I'm sure someone out there cou=

to a page I quickly put together showing my piece and another interesting li=

were following the Best Multi Coloured Chondrules thread.

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

Hello Everyone, 
 
I just got a chance to look at Jim=
Tobin's article on oriented irons at Meteorite Times (www.meteoritetimes.co=
m <http://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 ofte=
n 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
