Hello Jeff and all,

Very cool looking impact pit. It's probably real. Marvin Killgore at
Southwest Meteorite has also observed these impact pits. If you go to his
website at
http://www.meteorite-lab.com/ and click on the "science" link, it will
direct you to the following paper:

SMALL IMPACT CRATERS ON SIKHOTE-ALIN IRON METEORITE SURFACES by M. Killgore
and J.F. McHone.

Enjoy,
Frank

G'day List,

I just received this little 33g Sikhote-Alin from Ivan. While meteorite
impact pits is something that sounds normal, how about on the meteorite
itself?!? It has what looks like an 'impact pit' in the surface of the
meteorite. It also shows orientation or flight markings but looking at the
overall shape I can't see from which direction. (2 roll-over lips!) All the
details below and any comments appreciated.
