"I love the photos that are made of the fusion
crusts after being coated with ammonium chloride"

Like the photo on page 641, where you can admire and drool over
a "perfectly oriented [Henbury] sample with regmaglypts and fusion
crust".

The caption continues:

"This type of material cannot have been involved in the cratering explosion
but must have separated from the incoming main mass at high altitude. Smoked
with NH4Cl".
