Sahara 99555 Meteorite Thin Section

Sahara 99555 Meteorite thin section in cross polarized light. This was purchased from Luc Labenne; he mentioned that this was his last thin section specimen of SAH 99555 and that it suffered a horizontal fracture near the bottom. Despite the crack, this angrite classified meteorite produces spectacular visuals.

D’Orbigny Meteorite Thin Section

This is a thin section specimen of the D’Orbigny Meteorite. The thin section photographs were taken under cross polarized light using two linear polarizing filters.
