Tom,
ReplyDeleteWhat are the "ladder" type features in this photos...the two rows running diagonally?

Hi Guys, Tom here. Thanks for the posts! After a real estate adventure that started 8 years ago out of Las Vegas I finally got a house in Meridian (Boise) Idaho that I plan to make my "forever house" I will set up all the scopes and unbox meteorites that I haven't seen in a decade. I am still in "Move mode" and Dirk has been posting and maintaining the site. If I take a long time to join in, that is why. Actually, this whole site is Dirk's doing, Thanks Dirk!!!
ReplyDeleteI do not know for sure what causes the ladder structures. In SaU 001 I have found a visually related structure that looks like a string of characters! I think it's formation is related to the barred chondrule process. (And this is where I go off the rails, but with good company) Contrary to conventional theories which suggest shock events, I think barred chondrules grow. I don't mean like a plant, but like a crystal. Widmanstätten pattern grows slowly over quite some time and I think we are viewing a similar process in a melted stony body.
Please post your ideas, view points and well learned knowledge!
Thanks again, Tom
Tom you never cease to amaze me with your artistic talent
