Sikhote-Alin Meteorite fragment

This is another example where I feel a single camera shot can not tell the story as well as a series. In this case, the same meteorite is shown from four angles allowing comparison of the side showing regmaglypts formed on entry to the atmosphere (upper right) and the side showing the broken surface as formed on impact (lower left). Examples of this meteorite are common showing either surface type but this one is unusual since it shows both.

Love the detail - the sheen, texture and colour of the meteorite. It even feels cold! Janet
