Hi Martin,
Thanks for your observations on Dhofar vs. NWA. What you wrote makes sense. 
However I still wonder why many of the Dhofar chondrites have so many fine
shock 
veins compared to the NWAs.  Any thoughts?
Bob

Hi Bob,

>So we have two reasons:
The more harsh weathering conditions in Oman
and a economical one, that from the NWA one sees only the tip of the
iceberg's weathering scale, cause the more rotten stuff doesn't sell.

Buckleboo!

Hi all,
I've seen a good number of Dhofar and NWA common chondrites and 
I've noticed that there are many among the Dhofars which exhibit highly 
weathered interiors laced with rich, thread-like shock veins. These 
veins seem to be far less common in NWA chondrites and I wonder 
why. Can anyone shed light on this little mystery (for me)? Thank you!
Bob
