Examples of the two different forms of meteoritic phosphides. (a) A scanning electron microscopy image of etched rhabdite crystals in kamacite (Toluca meteorite). (b) An EBSD pattern (band contrast mode) of a schreibersite crystal in kamacite (Watson meteorite). A number of fine microcracks, which are arranged parallel to the crystallographic planes, are visible in the schreibersite. The microcracks can be interpreted as an indicator of brittle fracture, whereas the kamacite shows the known twinning planes as a result of the plastic deformation.
