Not to sound silly or anything, but there are meteorites with NO fusion 
crust? Assuming of course you're not talking about very weathered 
specimens, are you telling me there are freshly fallen meteorites that 
have NO fusion crust at all? How is that possible?

I can see a weathered stone or iron not having crust but a freshly 
fallen piece with no crust? Hmmm... That doesn't make sense to me.
