Hi Mike and everyone,

The brown crust is just areas that have not been burnt or melted as much as
the blacker areas. My photos also make them a little washed out when, in
fact, they are blacker than what they appear. Sometimes it is difficult to
get accurate color with the darker or lighter meteorites (whole or cut).

I did point out one that had some oxidation so you can definitely see the
difference.

Best regards,

Greg
