[meteorite-list] Franconia Iron Impact Crater Pic's

[thetoprok at aol.com]

Hello Bill, List,

That is an excellent example of how these irons came to be. I've seen 
some individuals with big flat squares of iron sticking out. One of the 
stones I have is similar to the one you have but not as dramatic, the 
metal is not peeling off, it's flat on the broken surface and is about 
1/4 inch x 1/8 inch and very thin.

Regards,
Larry

Hello Larry and List, 
 
I also have quite a few irons from Franconia that show what appear to 
be impact craters in them. 
 
Here is a slice of the Franconia H5 actually showing one on the 
controversial irons that was in the process of separating from it's 
chondrite parent. Or at least this is how it looks to an amateur ;) At 
any rate these are very interesting photos...
