[meteorite-list] Tucson adios

Tue Feb 8 11:57:04 EST 2011

Good one Jeff!

Of course I was refering to SiO-type...hence the joke.   I had a NWAxxx that 
had a bunch of minute florescing insect webs adhering to the sand-grains, 
most likely picked up sitting around in someone's basement box for years. 
They were bright-blue under the scope...also wiped away with a cloth.

As for unique olivine characteristics...I have a Brahin slice with  minute 
'bubbles' in the olivine...anyone seen this before?

Richard
