>>Could the black fusion crust formed at the time of ablation absorb the
sun's radiative heat during the dark flight fall? Or provide some form of
insulating benefit?<<

Maybe...but I'd think that the air it has to pass thru during this period
would be quite cold and its passing thru would cool the outside skin quite
quickly. The meteorite at this period would be cold on the inside and
getting cold on the thin skin outside.
