MeteoJuice22 0 Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks Bill! Can you elaborate on why this is a terrestrial stone and cannot be a meteorite? Your answer tells me it's not a meteorite because it's magnetic. Please be patient but if you have anything more to add I would love to learn more to prevent another similar mistake. 😊😊 Edited December 29, 2017 by MeteoJuice22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikestang 573 Posted December 29, 2017 Looks like "ironstone", no fusion crust evident, no structure or features to indicate it's a meteorite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
