[meteorite-list] Roger Warin Northbranch Meteorite Thin Section Images

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello list,

Roger Warin was kind enough to take some Northbranch meteorite thin sections 
images, which I have posted on my website here:

http://www.meteoritearticles.com/colnorthbranch.html

When I look at my Northbranch meteorite thin section, under the microscope 
or in hand, the thing I notice the most of the meteorite is it's weathering. 
Metal has bled in the matrix around it, heavy weathering in the meteorite 
cracks.  The weathering portions giving the specimen a reddish tink.

And again, more of Roger's thin section images can be found here, 
www.agab.be

Those that have not started a meteorite thin section collection I would 
suggest doing such if possible.  You will quickly learn, a $70 meteorite 
thin section is far more interesting and will take you a lot more time to 
examine then a $500 gram sample of the same.

Clear Skies,
