[meteorite-list] ATQ: Taenite and Kamacite and Widmanstatten Formation

[Metorman46 at aol.com]

Hello Elton;

This is a great description  of the processes that are required to form the 
widmanstatten patterns in iron  meteotites.I think.I especially like the 
introduction of phosphorus into the  equation,as V.F. BUCHWALD stressed in his 
descriptions of iron meteorites.I have  noticed that the irons with the most 
phosphorus content seem to oxidize more  rapidly after introduction into the earths 
terra firma.Your description is  refreshing in that it gets us back to the 
basics of iron meteorite analysis,the  newer researchers seem to blow by P. in 
their descriptions of irons.I  think.

Thanks for sharing with the list and good luck.
