Hi Andi,

Thank you for sharing the excellent photos. From the Pic-o-Day photo it
looked like it had a black fusion crust, but after viewing the uncut mass
photo, it looks like it must have been shadows in the slice picture. It does
appear to have a thick crust in some areas, is this the case?

Congrats again, Andi, for your fantastic meteorite! I had not seen this
material until today with Michael Johnson's RFSPOD post, otherwise I would
have inquired about what was available. Now I see there is nothing available
:-/ If a nice slice or end cut is made available, please let me know!

Best regards,
Greg
