OR, just the fact that it was encapsulated still makes it a meteorite, since it made it to the ground. Also, the border material of the encapsulated meteor should be of great scientific value, since there is no other way for an intact meteor to make it on the ground without burnishing it's surface. Just a thought, and looking for comment Regards CharlyV -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Christian Anger Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 9:45 AM To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com; 'Bernhard Rems' Subject: [meteorite-list] RE: A meteorite within a meteorite 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 IMCA #2673 www.austromet.com Christian Anger Korngasse 6 2405 Bad Deutsch-Altenburg AUSTRIA email: christian.anger_at_aon.at -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces_at_meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Bernhard Rems Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 2:26 PM To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] A meteorite within a meteorite 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.
