.. in IVB irons!

An excerpt from Buchwald (p. 463):

"Etched sections [of Chinga] show the s c h l i e r e n bands characteristic
of so many group IVB ataxites. They are-on undeformed specimens-straight
and parallel, 1-10 mm wide and taper out in irregular ways. There are generally
only two 'sets', one having high, the other low reflectivity, but they are of the
same chemical composition."
