Hello List members.
 
Patrick and I have just received a shipment of wonderful new thin sections. These are of the best quality and are double polished to a half micron finish for high resolution photography and microscopy. All are made with large specimens for maximum surface area and have been made from select specimens to display unique features. Since the new fall from Mifflin, Wisconsin is such a beautiful breccia we were very selective of which specimens we invested in for thin section making. Two of these specimens were found by everybody's favorite television celebrity; Steve Arnold while filming an episode of The Meteorite Men!
The Bells thin sections are made from all we could get. Years ago we did a trade for 6 grams of crumbs. These thin sections are made with 7 pieces of Bells on each slide. Sadly every fragment had fusion crust so it was really painful sending these jewels off to be made into thin sections.
 
So we have paid 'the greatest thin section maker on the planet' a double premium in order to get the finest polish and to get them fast. There are only two of each and we just received them yesterday so we still need to label them but thought it would be good to get this list out for your review.
 
And the resulting specimens are listed below:
 
Berthoud, Colorado eucrite approximately 15 x 22 mm
 
Bells, Tx. C2 7 approx. 2-3 mm fragments
 
Isna, Egypt C3 approx. 16 x 20 mm
 
NWA 6007, l3.5 Very pretty Approx. 18 x 26 mm
 
Mifflin, Wisconsin fall, approx 12 x 24 mm
 
Talampaya, Argentina eucrite, approx. 15 x 22 mm
