Hi Ivan and meteorites' fans,

Thanks for sharing your pictures of such fantastic slices of Seymchan and congratulations for your great work on this meteorite.
Regarding your question, I don't know exactly what to say... It is true that in some places of the last 4mm thick giant slice
(wow!), it looks like a Mesosiderite, but I have a question myself about it. Is it usual in a Mesosiderite to have the Fe/Ni
embedded in olivine crystals? I thought (but I may be wrong as I'm far from being a specialist of Mesosiderites) that their main
characteristic is to dsiplay very dense zones of metal flakes in a silicates' matrix, i.e. not only olivine... Am I right or wrong?
Thanks for your comments!
I like to learn more about those meteorites that are very rare in the places where I'm used to go hunting, and that I never found so
far...

Kind regards to All!
