  Hi List:
   
  I have an ordinary chondrite that I cut and in the fusion crust there is metal; some even close to the surface. I thought that since the fusion crust is partial melting of the mineral components, the metal would alter or (at least) melt to some degree.
   
  Does anyone know if this is a common occurrence?
   
  Much Thanks,
   
  Greg S.
