Or perhaps, cause the smaller specimens break of later in the air, can
develope only a thinner crust, which contracts easier than a thicker one?

"Hmm did you note, that small specimens do have more often contraction
cracks
than larger ones?"

More surface area to mass in the case of small objects. Interesting
observation.

Problem is, we have only 5 fresh CO3 falls, and there aren't so much pics
around....

Nor is it flat black and velvety.

And that Kainsaz has no cracks...

Here is a great image on Mike Farmer's site that shows the contraction
cracks on a CO3 fall, Thank you Martin Altmann for providing this link
earlier. If you look very closely, you will see the faint webwork of
contraction cracks so typical of CO3s:

Take Care,
