[meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk - slickensides or shock planes?

[Jim Wooddell]

Hi Sergey,

Those are nice pictures.
I see the secondary, I do not see slickenside.

I decided to take a look at all the samples for sale on Ebay. There is a 
fellow there selling "slickenside" fragments.   Even with those, I say 
look closer.

I imagine you have been very busy!  That's a good thing!

Cheers!
