Hi there folks,
Further to the Putorana thread... whilst it is said that this material is
one of the best meteorwrongs around, I have never seen any of the other iron
in basalt contenders (ie material from Disko Isl. &c.)
Has anyone out there got any pics of the other iron in basalt from these
other sources?
I was just interested to see if they were similar in appearance.
I could see that one of the arguments supporting Mr. Norton's hypothesis
that the iron in Putorana was sourced from a plume from the core was the
presence of Ni. Would not any iron derived from mantle rocks also have a
%age of Ni in it?
very best!
dave
