[meteorite-list] Odd layered feature in NWAXXX specimen

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Tracy,  I am always on the lookout for odd  or unusual meteorites in piles of 
unclassified.  Out of nearly 1000 Kg I  have found two stones that match this 
description.  I don't have any  micrographs at the time but I have examined 
them in high magnification and they  are stone meteorites.

Keep that one,  I think that a very different  process was at work.

Tracy, I  have seen this before in extremely old weathered pieces, especially 
in iron  meteorite shale, the layering is normal.
