Morlock 1,646 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Here's another interesting link. If you really want to find one, get yourself a dogsled and learn how to build a igloo. https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-statistics/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bedrock Bob 3,965 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 No metal. No chondrules. No meteorite. What you have is not metallic. It is sub metallic. It is a sedimentary hematite concretion. Find one that exhibits basic meteoritic characteristics. This one does not even come close. Take baby steps. Learn the difference between metallic luster and sub metallic luster. That will be a giant step forward. If you streak this rock it WILL leave a streak. If you are getting no streak then you need to work on that testing technique as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Au Seeker 3,138 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Your last photos aren't even close to being in focus, nothing can be judged by your photos as blurry as they are, but everyone has already told you what it appears to be and a meteorite is not on the list of possibilities. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
