[meteorite-list] Northbranch H5

[Gary K. Foote]

Thank you Bernd,

I have not seen shock veins fill with metal before and don't know if such is a 
possibility.  There are many other, finer threads of metal showing also in this specimen. 
 More shock veins do you think?  What mechanism would/could cause such an effect?

Best,

Gary
