UNCLASSIFIED NWA WITH EXCEPTIONAL CHONDRULES
[ Two photos of the same meteorite on this page ]
[ Super Closeup ]
Numerous chondrules can be seen nearly "popping out" of the surface of this meteorite. Note also the super-fine contraction cracks. These are created when the surface of a stony meteorite cools faster than its interior. Cooling causes shrinkage. Its as simple as that.
