[meteorite-list] A contributary question for a change!

Hi Anne, Dave and List,

I believe those clasts are orthopyroxene not olivine judging by the cleavage but you would need a Microprobe to be sure.

All the best,

Adam

    Well, I have a 180+ thick slice of Estherville and I can assure you that

    So I would like to assume that a mesosiderite is not a core-mantle sample
    (like a Pallasite) but the smushed up surface of a well pounded asteroid.
  I have a couple of those too. They are beautiful. 
  Just go look:

  That mesosiderite wants to grow up to be a pallasite??     :-)
