Greetings list
I ran into a interesting thing while slicing a Ghubara I had. It has, on its
margin, a metal flake that is 9mm x 4mm (measured at most extent points)
and is just so out of place for the rest of the metal flakes seen in this
meteorite (of the pieces I have anyway) and was wondering if this is a
common occurance or could it be from an impact? I know a metalugical
analysis is called for in this type of question, but asking a large group of
people first is easier and cheaper. In my other pieces and even the rest of
this piece, the flakes of metal are maybe 1mm max.
Thanks for your help in advance.
