Bencubbinites are rare & aesthetic meteorites. Texturally, they are chondrites & are naturally dominated by chondrules. However, they are very strange chondrites, because many of the chondrules in bencubbinites are metallic iron.

This is a slice (4.6 x 3.8 cm in size) from the Gujba Meteorite, a bencubbinite that fell in northeastern Nigeria on 3 April 1984, but has only been subjected to scientific study since the early 2000s.

The Gujba Meteorite is dominated by metallic chondrules. Gujba's metal chondrules are slightly elongated spheroids containing iron and a little nickel. The large, nonmetallic-lustered, rounded structures are silicate chondrules. Published research has shown that the silicate chondrules consist of forsterite olivine or pyroxene plus feldspathic glass. The matrix surrounding the large metal & silicate chondrules is principally composed of small silicate chondrule fragments.

Very few meteorites can be classified as bencubbinites, or CB chondrites. The details of their origin are not yet clear, and several hypothesized formation mechanisms have been proposed.

Chondrules of the Gujba Meteorite have been dated to 4.5627 billion years.

Buddha once said .....

The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage! Like the apparent distances in a picture, things have no reality in themselves, but they are like heat haze.

A year ago today my father-in-law died. I bought these flowers for my wife today because I knew today would be hard for her - although in truth every day has been hard for her in the past year.

week 12

I ran out of time again this week, we have a lot going on in the background so I apologise for the lazy image. Yes I know its rubbish but it is what it is.

Process :found a rotted leaf, threw it on our skanky outdoor table, chucked up a portable flash and metered to f8, used the gary fong only to reduce spill as i was a touch slack. (if i had thought about it I would have made the shadow more of a feature by making it longer) then on the same sd card took photos of the worn 60s painted red concrete, a limestone block, a dirty window (and there are many) and a fly screen. blended in ps in multiple modes, opacities and the screen had levels boosted.

will throw textures up if anyone needs them, use as you require, they are licensed for creative commons.
