Hi Frank, List,

i see the shadows but that's not what I'm talking about. If you lookk
at the individual chunks and pieces in the Abee you will notice that
many of them appear to have a lighter 'rim' around them, follow me? Now
that I've looked at other pictures of different specimens, I'm
thinkning it may have to do with metal shine but I'm not sure. I'm
wondering what might cause this appearance of a rim around the
individual pieces that make up the meteorite.

Thanks.


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi Larry & all,

I think the "weathering effects" on the Abee are shadows on the large
slice.?
Notice that they're different in each image.

Hello List,

Several list members brought it to my attention that the last 3 images
in Edwin's photo album are of Abee, not NWA 6694. My mistake. I
should've figured it out when I noticed the 'weathering' effect was not
evident in the first images of the hand specimen, '6694, only the last
3 images of the big slab of Abee.

I didn't see any comments on this weathering effect seen in clasts of
the Abee, can anyone explain what's going on there? Having not ever
seen a piece of it in person it's hard to tell exactly what I'm looking
at. Now that I know it's an EH chondrite I'm wondering if the high
metal is somehow causing the effect.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins
