Hi all,

With all the talk about melting and twisting of metal on the Sikhote
Alin meteorite it got me to wondering what very fresh fusion crust looks
like on an iron meteorite. I mean like the day it fell fresh, and not
like the Sikhote.

Everyone here pretty much knows what fresh crust looks like on an
ordinary chondrite, but are there any example photos of freshly fallen
iron meteorites with very fresh fusion crust beside the Sikhote Alin
meteorite?
