 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/CaneySprings/NWA2826LL528gmMarcinCimalacloseup.jpgI see that I have missed topic about my meteorite.Mike, Darren, You are not right. This part is the back side of orientesstone.When uncut, it looks strange, it was very unequal. Much different than theother side, full of regmaglyptes.It is here, on third photo on the left. This is part that I have cut beforeTucson.http://www.polandmet.com/gfx_nwa2826/000.htmCrust here is thick becouse of orientation. But I have no idea how thissmall fragments can jump into liquid crust in the air and they have stillsharp edges, not burned. That a very cool one.-----[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-----[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]-----http://www.Meteoryt.net marcin at meteoryt.nethttp://www.PolandMET.com marcin at polandmet.comhttp://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195--------[ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ]--------
