Hi Bernhard,

I have a similar feature in an unequilibrated chondrite.

Have a look at my slice of NWA 2288 L3 11.7g

http://austromet.com/collection/NWA_2288_11.7g.jpg

dimensions of the slice are 40x35mm


cheers,

Christian

Hi,

just wanted to point you to a picture of one of my latest aquisitions:

http://www.meteoritegallery.com/gallery/viennametcoll/sau068?full=1

This is SaU 068, a H5 with a TKW 0f 1.165g in one mass. I recently purchased
a full slice of 61g from Sergej from ebay, and I thought it was astonishing
that noone else seemed interested in this particular slice.

If you look at the picture, you see a pretty obvious inclusion of a second
meteorite in SaU 068, which has a different appearance that the rather
blackish main part. What isn't visibile in the picture is the difference in
visible metal: the larger, blacker exterior has little to no visible metal,
while the brownish "inclusion" has more than a lot.

The slice is polished on both sides, but by touching the piece with your
fingers you can feel the difference in structure and much more so the border
between the two kinds of meteoritic material. The "inclusion" is much
smaller on the other side of the the slice.

I know, it's still an H5, but I think it's an interesting piece - thus I
wanted to share it with you.

Bernhard
