[meteorite-list] photo link - a cosmic marble

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi Stefan,

That's an awesome pic. Thanks for sharing! The thing that especially peaked
my interest was not just the layed onion-effect but if you take a look at
the bottom of the central region you will notice what looks like fragmented
chondrules. I'm wondering if this wasn't a completely enclosed chondrule but
rather a conical or donut shaped one? That central region looks very similar
to encasing and more metamorphosed section on the left. I'd be interested to
see what the sister-slices from either side of this slice are like.

Great piece,

Jeff

Dear List Members,

I would like to show an interesting photo of a strange round object in a
chondrite (currently under study). It is probably a macrochondrule.  I did
not see ever such a chondrule in a meteorite. It is amazing. Please, enjoy:
