[meteorite-list] impact melt and metal spheres

[Phil Morgan]

I cut what I believe to be an unclassified impact melt a while back
and didn't think it had much metal other than a single mm-sized blob
and some very fine threads.  I polished it up well the other day and
found many tiny perfect spheres of metal under 20x magnification.  I
don't have much to compare it to and am curious as to whether most/all
impact melts contain these.  Are there various degrees of melting that
have been documented?

There is a poor picture of a slice here:

There is always something new to discover about these visitors from space.

Thanks in advance and regards,
Phil
