Mikestang Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Looks like slag to me, almost certainly not a meteorite, they don't look melted like that. Edited September 26, 2017 by Mikestang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Strutton Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 North of Estherville, you say...? I would definitely have it examined by an expert and if it is part of the Estherville mesosiderite, do your homework before you sell even a small piece of it. (BTW, my birthday is in January. Just sayin') https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=10059 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisski Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Is there a reason none of the pictures of iron meteorites I see are rusty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 There are plenty of rusty iron meteorites out there, but they don't make very pretty pictures. Many irons are very stable due to the alloy nature of their make-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
