Almost 100% made of glue is my guess. There?s no natural way to make it look like a turf squeezed out of a tube.

I think I saw it once before a while back, being offered. I have never seen this shaping before either. Very unusual, but I would guess it must be terrestrial weathering influenced by some sort of internal structure...e.g. perhaps melt. I took the phrase "modern burnishing" to be that it had been cleaned in some way to remove caliche....but a vague description.

Either way I have never seen anything quite like it in the meteorite world. Anyone else have an explanation ... please chime in on this. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/deep-impact-lunar-rare-meteorites/evoking-sculpture-ken-price-exotic-meteorite-morphology-nwa-13203-38/82821 Thanks Paul Gessler ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
