Hi Bill, List
I don't know if you are all that interested in seeing one of my
examples with what looks like the matrix coating the outside but I
thought I would post a picture of the one little piece showing the
spherule I mentioned that is exposed in one of the little pits. I
know this picture isn't the best but in it you might be able to see
the grey material on the outside (somewhat). The picture was taken
through the low-power scope so not so good. IF this is a meteorite,
it would most likely be a H chondrite would be my guess. Very
strongly attracted to a magnet. I was thinking you previously put up
a picture of the stone you are describing? Seems I have seen another
one at some time anyway.
All the best,
Mike in CO
