Hi List,

This seller describes a Sikhote Alin shrapnel as having : "54 Gram
Sikhote-Alin Meteorite-w/Sharp"Roll-Over Edges"

I thought a roll-over lip or edge was an orientation feature?  How can
an exploded piece of shrapnel exhibit these features?  Is this one of
those cases where you stare at the photo hard enough and you see
something else emerge?
