Hi List,  I was thinking some of you may of  seen features like this and 
could save me some investigation time.  I would  like to email some pics of a 
stone with what looks like flow lines and  orientation.

It has light magnetic attraction and no chondrules.   There are olivine 
chunks in the broken face.  It looks like volcanic rock  (Basalt) but I have 
never seen these surface features on Earth rocks.

The  result of my last "sure thing" are posted to my Gallery (Terrestrial  
Basalt).  I sent a sample to Tony Irving and I do not want to wear out my  
welcome by sending him a boat load of Earth rocks to look at so I will wait 
and  see what you think before I decide to ask Tony to take a look.

Please  email me if you are willing to take a look and share your  
observations.

Tom Phillips
