What is a thin section?       What do all the colors mean?    
Thin section between crossed polarizers.   Martian (shergottite)

TKW 812 grams. Fall not observed. Two stones (414 and 383 g) were found in the Atlas mountains (Morocco) in 2001 January and March.

Don't miss the zoomable hi-res picture on Flicker.


 


Solar writes:
The two thin sections presented here are stunningly beautiful and were a real joy to photograph. I hope viewers find them visually stimulating.

Many of the darkened olivine grains look remarkably similar to those in NWA 2737; both were formed from high pressure shocks related to the ejecting event.

The first series (photos 1 - 3) was taken with 4x/0.25 objective while the second series (4-7) was taken with 10x/0.25 objective.

Beautiful work. Could we discussed further with regular email. I am into shock features of meteorites especially stage 5-6 with ringwoodite and wadsleyite. Have Olympus BH2 and need camera advice. Would like to see pictures of your lab. Thanks Jack Jackoski@yahoo.com

As a seamstress I am always looking for beautiful fabric. I would buy this in silk!
