XPL PHOTOMICROGRAPHS: METEORITIC

These images were again taken with the CH2. Although somewhat better, some of the images still struggle with luminance range - either burnt out in places or under-exposed. All taken afocally with Fuji FinePix.


NWA 3118[1]: CV3, Morocco, 2003. TKW 5,900g. This sample contains a bewildering array of different chondrules. Note the bizarre "Death's head" example in the last photo. 






NWA 4438 (prov)
[2]: L3.1, NWA, 2006. TKW 390g. These sections are cut a little thin, so the colouration is a bit unusual; however, really nice detail can still be seen.
 

NWA 4560 (prov)
[3]: LL3.1, NWA, 2007. TKW 400g. Again, unusual colouration but nice detail
 

Chico: L6, New Mexico, 1954, TKW 104.8kg. A relatively small sample, there are a few relict chondrules.
