I have found rock which is smooth, dark grey on the exterior, light grey
inside.
The exterior is harder then the interior. One of the apex's of the surface
seems to have ablated off and there is a round dimple/hole behind that to
reveal the soft interior. The interior is like a fine grit sandpaper with
near
microscopic metal particles (not rusted) and smells like sulfer. Is this a
possible Achondrite? Mass = 155g
A minerologist friend has a slab of a bigger rock which green olivine?
chondrules?
and little white dolomite? inclusions that look like chinese letters. The
chondrules
have a red ring that diffuses into the fine grey rock matrix. Would this be
a
possible chondrite? Can chondrules occur in terrestrial rocks? Mass = Lots.
Thanks for any info?
Cheers,
Don
