I have received several replies from people who misunderstood my original
post and wanted to clarify what I was looking for. By stating 'craters'
several people thought I simply meant regmaglypts or thumbprints - this is
not what I meant.

I am looking for meteorites with actual micrometeoroid impact craters/pits.
These are meteorites that while re-entering or in space had collisions with
micrometeoroids and exhibit an actual impact crater with a splash rim. There
is a great example on Geoff Notkins page here:

and

If you don't have any for sale I would still love to get some photos of
examples of micrometeoroid craters on meteorites.

Thanks!
