Aloha Jeff, Bernd, et al,

I am at a conference now and have limited access to email, but was informed of this interesting anomalous inclusion in Jeff's Buzzard Coulee meteorite. My friend and partner of the NWA (~L3, W0/1) has identified a similar feature in one of my slices. Please have a look at my 20.11g full slice to see this blue feature in the middle of a troilite inclusion:

Because this is from the interior of the meteorite, it should dispel any theory of fusion reaction during ablative flight.

There is a brassy yellow one (troilite?) with a smaller blue one like mine next to it. Both look like melted metal on the surface. I know Mark had one other much larger Buzzard with a similar thing too. Has anyone else seen this or know what could cause it?
