April Meteorite Of The Month "Perfect Chondrules"
This is what was written.
"The Perfect Chondrule? Only a microscope nerd would
think of that one. Would it be barred, armored, radial
or look like it came from out of this world? Would you
believe all could be found in one ugly meteorite?
Case in point, This meteorite, pulled from a very large
batch of unclassified Moroccans, looks to be weathered
to extreme on the out side but is surprisingly fresh
inside and is loaded with a multitude of chondrules. I
have identified 15.4 Kg of this meteorite and think that
is all there is from my supplier. No telling what is
circulating in batches of unclassified you might already
own. I have sent a sample to NAU and I am awaiting
classification. My purpose in sharing these images is
not to get help in classification, although any
observations would be appreciated, it is to show off the
CHONDRULES!
Did I mention this stuff has chondrules? All types and
sizes and some made out of material that is well, out of
this world!!! "
Since that article was written I have obtained and
identified just over 31 Kg of this material. This is the
second set of some beautiful chondrule micrographs.
