larense Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hola forist. Here we have a NWA unc met, 93.5 grams, and we wonder if it has a weathered or sand blasted FC, or still has rests of an even FC. Below, a first picture of the whole specimen ; the second picture is of a close up of a still blackish area. Hasta la vista, larense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basaltgooroo Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm not sure but sand blasted ones look kinda pollished right? it looks like maybe both? I only have like 5 NWA's and i have never heard anything on what weather looks like depending on if it was water or sand blasted. i hope you figure it out [Erik] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larense Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hola Basaltgooroo. ¿ What do you see in the second picture? ¿ Is it a still unwheathered FC ? Hasta la vista, larense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basaltgooroo Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hola Vd., the second picture has little spots of rust and sand grains in the stress cracks so it is deffinitely weathered. it might be a recent fall like the last 200 years but who knows? that is only known by the sand mongers and camel jockies who roam those parts of the desert. tough people.
