Re: [meteorite-list] John's Interesting Iron Meteorite, NWA 2677

Intersting to me, that some lamellae in that slice are somewhat twisted from
mechanical stress
as one can find in many irons of large tkw, which broke up. Gibeon, Henbury
and of course from most crater builders.
So I would bet, that there are many more specimens still to be found in
desert....
