Thank you all for your comments! Research of this beautiful material and also the spheres still running. Let's hope for some news at the Meteoritical Society Meeting in September. |

Mind boggling. So, what do we call these spheres?
Are these possibly spherulitic in nature?
That would mean they formed at the same time as the phenocrysts. Or were they already solid when the breccia formed like Graham suggested?
Or a combination - the interior black sphere was already solid and the outside layer grew like a spherulite during the final cool-down? |

Wow! Beat...now that is the best cut I've seen of Black Beauty....those pebbles are fabulous...those contraction cracks must have formed on Mars as they were incorporated into the matrix. Stunning. Have these "pebbles" been studied well yet....intrigued as to exactly what they are?....very jealous. |
