What is a thin section? What do all the colors mean?

Unusual chondrula in chondrite Gandom Beryan 002 (Iran).
The meteorite was found by Timur Kryachko, during the Iranian-Russian expedition to Iran, 2016 Apr 30. The transparent polished section was made by Timur Kryachko. The photo was obtained on a MPD-1 microscope, with 9x, 3.5x, 20x objectives (three images in crossed polarization light, and one in the transmitted light). This chondra consists of orthopyroxene, with an anomalous, for this meteorite, Fs = 22. The content of Al2O3 is 2 - 2.5%!

may not be a sign of Life but possibly of chondrule intelligence with its' brainy look. |

Yes, yes, but there is no real relief, the surface of the chondra in the section is absolutely flat! |

Weird-looking but interesting orthopyroxene chondrule... as if the pyroxenes had been "inflated"... almost three-dimensional! |
