Hello again,
Please, take a close look (and enlarge if possible) Mike Farmer's picture
(page 3, first picture) of the pieces he collected or acquired. Right below
the largest fragment that weighs approximately 38 grams (according to
Mike's own comment), there are three relatively "large" pieces in the 6
o'clock position. Just a tad above the two on the left (roughly 7 o'clock),
there is a much smaller, blocky piece that looks "striated". Could that be
slickensides, which would testify to the enormous stress that this stone
was exposed to?!
