[meteorite-list] A Riot of over 300 regmaglypts!

Hi All,

For all those who get excited by the aesthetic qualities and beauty of flight marked meteorites I would like to share photographs of an 8kg UNWA which I have been working on. Initially this was covered in caliche and concretions hiding most of what was underneath, although it was possible to tell that it was an almost complete specimen initially covered in thumbprints. It is very weathered with many fractures but remnant fusion crust. It has taken many hours slowly removing the caliche without removing remnant crust or creating 'false' regmaglypts.

I know some purists would rather see specimens in their 'found' state, but I just couldn't resist trying to bring this ugly duckling back to life. Just imagine what this must have looked like on the day it fell.
