One of the Arnold-Notkin team's favorite finds from West, Texas. A perfectly oriented 100% fusion-crusted individual nose down in the ground. Some stones fragmented in flight; some came to rest gently on the earth, but this gorgeous example almost buried itself into the hard, dry soil. The best stones we have been recovering exhibit an almost luminous blue-tinged fusion crust -- is that Murchison or Camel Donga? : )
