Hi Geoff,

I'd just started writing an email to Michael's post when I saw yours! ;-)

I have a Sikhote about the same size with just the same feature. It's really
weird and hard to imagine how it formed. In my sample, it's almost like the
surface melted and folded over and into itself. Looks a bit like ropy lava.

Cheers,

Jeff

Dear Michael:

Thanks for including that photo of mine in your ongoing project.

I forgot to include a caption, and thought the details might be
interesting to our fellow listees.

Pictured is a 98.7-gram shield-shaped Sikhote-Alin with faint rollover
lip and unusual surface features. Someone posted a similar photo last
year (Matt Morgan?), showing that knotty pattern on a Sikhote. I can't
remember the verdict on what caused that. Does anyone else?

Michael, keep up the great work!


Regards,
