This striking and odd meteorite section looks like an email from space or a painting sent to earth by an alien race. For those who are curious (all of you!) these mystical, geometric markings are formed by post-atmospheric cooling.
Although these striations and patterns are made by nature, they are reminiscent of a flyer for a 90’s rave party or a digital image created by computer – it’s a futuristic techno-fantasy, yet these patterns were made by nature. Utterly amazing! Click the picture for a closer view.
This meteorite section currently resides at the Cockburn Geological Museum in Edinburgh. Eric, this reminded me of your art!

I once saw a 3D artist use a pattern from a meteor section as part of a texture for a crashed spaceship. I was stunned by the effect of stress metal panels that he used from a pattern created by nature.
There are several meteor slices at the Adler Planetarium here in Chicago. It’s been some years since I was last there. Maybe it’s time to visit again…
