RockyC Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Just need an opinion on these guys. They were all found in the same area. Edited August 27, 2014 by RockyC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 They do not look like meteorites to me, exterior surfaces are all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyC Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I'm not so sure. I saw one fall from the sky myself. It was lower then the power line. I waited 3 days and went out searching. I searched the entire area where I saw it land. This is all I could find. (it definitely landed in that exact spot also.) The surfaces depend on what the meteorite is made out of. The once i found are stony. (Most people find metallic ones which are completely different then stony. Here are some stony meteorites I find similar to mine. http://meteorite.unm.edu/site_media/images/Thuathe.jpg http://www.meteorite-martin.de/images/meteor/juangcheng2.jpghttp://www.star-bits.com/ID/nuevo7-96a.JPGThe photo of my piece in photo #4 greatly resembles one of these. I've never seen stones like this before and I wanna say I've been collecting since I was a little baby and they certainly the ones I found aren't volcano rocks but they are highly burned. ( except the silver one which is COMPLETELY cleaned.) Edited August 27, 2014 by RockyC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyC Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't know. I'm pretty sure they are. I just gotta find a place to send them and verify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't know. I'm pretty sure they are.Why are you pretty sure?I am totally 100% absolutly positive they are not meteorites. Post your pictures to the MetList and see what response you get (probably none, because it's pretty aparent they are not meteorites).Good luck to you.

Regmaglitch Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi RockyC, I didn't find any of the stones in your photos, that resembled a meteorite. Serious. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
