This is another very thin slab (1.5mm thickness!) cut from smaller side of the meteorite. Measuring 132 x 86 mm, it is still a panoramic view. One side polished, it displays some more CAIs, different kinds of Dark Inclusion and what appears to be a clast. You can see spoted inclusions & clast in details by clicking on their names on the picture shown beside (except yellow arrows), but a global enlargement is also available by clicking on the slice itself. |
Here is the back side of that 33.8g slice, that is rough from cutting with a 300 micron diamond coated wire saw. You can see by clicking on the picture that it is still a smooth surface, showing the thin path of the wire. With a lower contrast, it provides a different and interesting view of the amazing structure of this great meteorite. (click on picture to enlarge) |
