[meteorite-list] Metal in fusion crust

[greg stanley]

  Hi List:
   
  I have an ordinary chondrite that I cut and in the fusion crust there is metal; some even close to the surface.  I thought that since the fusion crust is partial melting of the mineral components, the metal would alter or (at least) melt to some degree.  
   
  Does anyone know if this is a common occurrence?
   
  Much Thanks,
   
  Greg S.
