chestertouristcom Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi, I have found this in a junk shop. Can you confirm it is a meteorite ? It is 35mm x 20mm x 20mm Slightly rusted Iron with bubbles in, not very magnetic, black and molten all at one end. Not that heavy. Appears to be a quarter fragment of the original.

frank c Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 HORRIBLE PHOTO for someone to examine, please try for a clearer more detailed pic and I'm sure others would offer an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
