scorbles Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 My uncle found this a few years ago. It is about 25kg. Any ideas? I'm a complete newbie to the world of meteorites...Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Doesn't look at all like any meteorite I've ever seen ... Is it magnetic? ... What color streak? ... What's it taste like? ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You have a better chance of winning a power-ball lottery than for that to be a meteorite...show it to a geologist or rock collector...fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 G'Day ScorblesA piece of string walks into a bar. He hops up onto a stool and yells to the bartender, "Hey! Gimme a drink!" The bartender picks up the string and throws it into the street. The string thinks, "I'll show 'him. I'll go back in disguise, he won't know it's me, and at the last minute I'll humiliate him. So the string contorts its body into a whole different shape, and frizzes its hair ala a 'fro. It goes back in, hops onto the stool and asks for a drink. The bartender says, "You're that piece of string I threw out 5 minutes ago." The string answers, "No. I'm a frayed knotAnd this also applies to your rock. Keep looking, keep asking. Happy HolidaysCheersJohnno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Visual analysis would tend to favor highly concentrated Leaverite. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It looks like it could be a fecolite to me. You never can tell. It might even have a little nephelene syenite in there somewhere. I would darn sure keep it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
