Hi Melanie,

I made a webpage (including macro and microscope photos) to answer this
question some time ago:
http://www.asteroidchippings.com/Special_topics/Sikhote_Alin_Crust.html

Furthermore Svend Buhl has some great webpages about crusts in general, that
are more than worth a visit:

All the best,
Rob Lenssen

Good morning list,
Do freshly fallen irons and stony-irons, have any kind of crust on them? if
they do, what does the crust typically look like on these meteorites?

I can recall seeing charred iron before...
