Betreff: [meteorite-list] Fusion Crust on Irons

Hi all,

With all the talk about melting and twisting of metal on the Sikhote 
Alin meteorite it got me to wondering what very fresh fusion crust looks 
like on an iron meteorite. I mean like the day it fell fresh, and not 
like the Sikhote.

Everyone here pretty much knows what fresh crust looks like on an 
ordinary chondrite, but are there any example photos of freshly fallen 
iron meteorites with very fresh fusion crust beside the Sikhote Alin 
meteorite?

Regards,
