I imagine it must have been pretty bad for you to say it was a "little scary". There are a predominance of stony lithologies, but Mike's iron is obviously not an L6 chondrite. So what do we call a mass like Mike's superb iron shield? Do we refer to his specimen as " Katol (L6)" or do we refer to it as something else? Does Katol have some similarity with Almahata Sitta, in the sense that stones with different lithologies (and classifications) shared the same strewnfield? So, a majority of hand specimens show a curious lithology that is granular, shocked, and originating from the L-chondrite group. Has anyone tried to plot the affinities from the specimens like Mike's that don't match the majority lithology? I'd be curious if they also fit into the L-chondrite group, or, if they were xenoliths hitching a ride in the Katol rubble-pile. Good stuff. It's about time that Katol gets some serious attention. :) Best regards, MikeG -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone ------------------------------------------------------------- On 1/1/14, Michael Farmer <mike at meteoriteguy.com> wrote: > Yes, this piece is oriented heat shield shaped with countless flow lines > and > bubbles on the thick backside crust.
