  Photos of Meteorite      

Here are several photos made with a 35mm camera.

This crevice is where most of the samples have been taken to date. The white spot is where my daughter's pet bird did his thing on the rock and should not be interpreted as part of the rock.

This picture shows a region of melting. Since the vesicles were open when this thing started its journey through the atmosphere, the regions which melted the most show that affect by closing their vesicles. Thus, if you look at the upper portion through a microscope you will see that the vesicles are much more open than those in the middle of the picture where more friction was applied (because of the shape of the rock).

Here you can see where the sand was obviously melted into and with the volcanic material.

The red streak is very visible here.  Remember that the red part is 49 million years old while the rest of the rock is 13 million years old.  Also, notice the difference in color between the photo above and the one below.  The Frass rock is like a chameleon, in that it seems to change color depending on the light that hits it.
