[meteorite-list] Sikhote-alin question

[star-bits at comcast.net]

Greetings

     Last night I listed a bunch of auctions one of which was a Sikhote-alin with a 2.5x2 cm circular feature in it.   It is kind of like what you would expect of a large troilite except the surface (about 1-2mm lower than the surrounding surface) appears to be solid metal like the schrapnel.   

    This morning I had an email from someone who said he had a piece with the same feature and was wondering what it was.   Anyone want to take a stab at what it might be.   I have no good explanations.   Here is a link to the auction.
