Hello All,

I was looking at my slice of Ensisheim, and it looks to me like there is
little river of lighter material with some islands of darker breccia flowing
through it?

It sure looks like at least an melt breccia, but how else besides impact
would a chondrite become melted?

Here is a pic of what I am talking about:

As before, the blue cube is 1cm^3.

Cheers,

Martin
