[meteorite-list] NWA 6694 / Abee

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Larry & all,

I think the "weathering effects" on the Abee are shadows on the large slice.  
Notice that they're different in each image.

Hello List,

Several list members brought it to my attention that the last 3 images
in Edwin's photo album are of Abee, not NWA 6694. My mistake. I
should've figured it out when I noticed the 'weathering' effect was not
evident in the first images of the hand specimen, '6694, only the last
3 images of the big slab of Abee.

I didn't see any comments on this weathering effect seen in clasts of
the Abee, can anyone explain what's going on there? Having not ever
seen a piece of it in person it's hard to tell exactly what I'm looking
at. Now that I know it's an EH chondrite I'm wondering if the high
metal is somehow causing the effect.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins
