[meteorite-list] Paleo EL3 Surface Features

[Phil Morgan]

Please forgive the similar posting, but my original title wasn't very 
descriptive and I have a couple of new questions.  Note also that I didn't 
intend to diss the discussion about "flat flying window crashers".  I've 
forgotten all the calculations being applied but it's interesting to hear 
the analysis.

I never thought this EL3 was very visually interesting, but I'm getting a 
kick out of it so again please excuse my curiosity.

BTW, I've received one vote for the EL3 family and one for a furnace 
clinker.  Gary, thanks for the photo.  I have some of the brownish pieces as 
well but this one seems different.  Might be the blue part - or a furnace 
clinker.

So what does the exterior of these paleo EL3s look like if anything 
interesting at all?  I believe it was Michael Cottingham who had some 
advertised on e-bay with fusion crust.  Might be have fusion crust, leached 
rind, and nothing?

Norbert Kammel has a ferrocrete Wolfe Crater impactite described as limonite 
deposited from solution.  Looks very similar to the exteroir of the item in 
question and as I understand it (but could very well be wrong), the 
mechanics could have been similar.

Here are links to my original pictures again.  Any further comments?

Here is the whole thing.  The pebbles stuck would seem to be a mini version 
of the cobble conglomerate:

 And here is what those shiny areas look like up close (again 20x):

Thanks again and regards to all,
