[meteorite-list] "Fractal" Etch In New East African Iron

[John Birdsell]

Hello all...we would like to share a photo of a new east African Iron 
meteorite that has an amazing "fractal-like" etch pattern. When we 
showed this to John Wasson at UCLA he said that he had never seen a 
pattern like it before. We have posted a high resolution image which can 
be viewed at the following link:

Be patient as it is a very high resolution image and may take a minute 
or two to download on dial  ups.  Once the page loads, click on the 
image and zoom in and then zoom in further.  You will see etch patterns 
within etch patterns within etch patterns-really amazing!


Hope you enjoy and we'll see you here in Tucson.


Cheers
