Hello all...we would like to share a photo of a new east African Iron
meteorite that has an amazing "fractal-like" etch pattern. When we
showed this to John Wasson at UCLA he said that he had never seen a
pattern like it before. We have posted a high resolution image which can
be viewed at the following link:

Be patient as it is a very high resolution image and may take a minute
or two to download on dial ups. Once the page loads, click on the
image and zoom in and then zoom in further. You will see etch patterns
within etch patterns within etch patterns-really amazing!


Hope you enjoy and we'll see you here in Tucson.


Cheers
