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".

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.
