This amazing pattern is found in "octahedrite iron meterites and some pallasites" per Wikipedia. It's a beautiful structure from time long ago.

It might make for a fun APOD someday. :?:

Given your question there, you may have meant to post this in the found images thread?

Thanks Geck. For some reason I thought that section was only for images that "found" their way on to your own pad. I didn't know a stray cat could nominate another cats 'fluff". 8-)

Yep, you can, even if you don't know who the other cat is. Robert has sent us on wild hunts searching for original photographers at least once in the past.
