Tom, List,

Coincidentally, I had my slice of Mt. Taz out and under the microscope a
couple weeks ago and I found a crystal in one of the vugs that was unlike ones
I've seen in the past. I was surprised to find it because I thought I had
looked in every vesicle on the specimen. Seems there is always a surprise inside
when I break out my Taz!
It's worth a look for sure if you are interested in these kinds of things. I
can tell you that I've never before seen, nor would I expect to see a crystal
 like this in a meteorite. Those interested can email me off list and I'll
send the image.

Regards,
Larry

Hi List, I recently imaged a thin section of Mount Tazerait L5. I found
it
fell Aug 21 1991 in Niger but I haven't seen any for sale (since I started
looking which was just recently). Is this a hard one to find?

In the thin section was a large inclusion. I have many cool micrographs of
it on the March Meteorite Times issue (Open the magazine and click on Micro
Visions).

This inclusion was different from what I am used to seeing and reminded me
of some Earth like volcanic structures. I won't start tossing descriptive
names around because I might be way off.

Any of you with the time and inclination, please share your thoughts of
what
this stuff reminds you of.

And if any one knows of Mount T for sale, please let me know.

Thanks, Tom Phillips
