Jake7291 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 This one hast been windowed, but cracked open. I found this in the same field different area. I thought it was just a pudding stone, until I cracked it open. Pudding stones I get in the thumb are usually always white inside, this one was black when I started hitting it. It also spit a few sparks every few swings. The interior is magnetic and magnetism varies between the different shapes. It has a shell that's about as thin as an eggshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billpeters Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Neither the matrix interior nor exterior have any resemblance to a meteorite. Try the geology forum. billpeters Edited September 27, 2019 by billpeters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake7291 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 NWA 4485 this is why I am questioning here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billpeters Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) NWA 4485 is a fine example of a meteorite whose interior matrix and crust does not match yours. You should be able to find numerous examples of terrestrial stones that have matrices similar to yours, but also dissimilar to NWA 4485 and the interiors of meteorites of similar classification. billpeters Edited September 27, 2019 by billpeters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Once again we see a magnetic stone with obvious terrestrial iron. Even if a person does not have the experience to see this stone is not a meteorite a simple streak test will tell them what they need to know.

Streak test was colorless, I wouldn't have posted here if I didn't do the simple tests. This is broken, not cut with my diamond blade, so yeah it looks dull. Not a meteorite though, thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
