I thought I would add a little something to the thin section posts.

I have become a very big fan of thin sections since my introduction to them. I find they offer a really unique look into just what meteorites really are. 
I owe a big thanks to Anthony Love at App State for sparking my interest into them as it has opened a new world up to me.
I have started to get a nice collection going and would suggest for any meteorite collector to check into getting a thin section ot two when they are offered by members of the list.

That said, here is a small portion of images from a few favorites in my collection.
