o, Tennasilm, Esthonia. Metallip constituents (lighter areas) form irregular rounded masses, also a halo 

 around one chondrule. Obviously this iron formed much later than the chondrule and probably was 

 introduced after the aggregate had formed, b, Sharps, Va. Complete chondrules and fnignients of 

 others are cemented together in a dark ground mass. Such structure resembles consoliiiaii'd di'trital 

 material, c, Shallowater, Tex. The metal has a pearlitic texture which is apparently not interrupted 

 by the Neumann lines. The dark embayment in from the bottom is filled with taenil^e, the upper dark 

 area is a silicate, enstatite, containing 0.38 percent FeO. a and b, photographs by L. B. Henbest.
