- Try this book:
- Mc.Sween: "Meteorites and their parent bodies".
- It describes the formation of the Widmanstaetten-pattern, and lots of other
- interesting facts about meteorites.
-
- Or try this:
- When you see a shooting star next time, wish you would know all about the
- Widmanstaetten-pattern. Maybe it *REALLY* works...?|?
- So...
- ...keep looking up|

- By the way: The Newmann are very different from the Widmanstaetten-pattern.
- The Newmann-lines are shock-lamelles, caused by an impact on their parent body.
- Although they are easily visible on etched hexaedrite-surfaces, some coarse
- octahedrites show these lines, too.
