I second that, got my partslice with vesicles, flowing rock and fresh
rock fragments yesterday.
Now I'm looking forward to see some scientific reports on this meteorite
as I have a lot of questions.
How did it form? What was the cooling rate / burial depth. When did it
form? What gas made the vesicles?
The vesicles in the flowing part makes me guess that it solidified on a
very shallow depth. But I'm only an amateur (read the book "Meteorites
and their parent planets" during the easter holiday) so what do I know.
Right now this slice is my pocket rock as I brought it to work to show a
friend.
