Shock level 5 seems too high. The level of shock "apparent" in this specimen certainly appears limited to maybe 2 or 3. This meteorite looks like many other L6's. |

RUBIN A.E. (2002) Chromite-plagioclase assemblages as shock indicators in ordinary chondrites (MAPS 37-7, 2002, A123). According to this article in MAPS, Kyushu is shock stage 5. Can this be true? It doesn't look that strongly shocked, does it? |

Ah yes: New York's American Museum of Natural History. One of my favorite places. Of course that list is long; anywhere a meteorite is on display.
Thanks for sharing photos of your visit Paul! |
