ivigo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Today i found this small stone. For sure they have fusion crust and regmaglypts but is not sure if is a meteorite. It's heavy, no iron and the hardness is somewhere 2-4 but i am not sure. The streak color is white. The polished part is completely smooth and flat but does not look like that in the photos. The photos is macro with good details. Thank you. Edited May 3, 2020 by ivigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_day Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Looks like a piece of quartzite to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billpeters Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Ivigo, You can see the sedimentary layering in your polished cut section showing how this terrestrial stone was built up by layers at the bottom of an ocean. The quartz-like crystals visible only occur on Earth. You have no idea what fusion crust and regmaglypts look like and have never posted a rock with either. The standard weathered varnish of all of your rocks are not fusion crust. Nothing you've posted is even close to meteorite regmaglypts. billpeters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Absolutely nothing to indicate a meteorite there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivigo Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 And the last info about the rock after more exams in house. Is not a meteorite for sure. What they looks like fusion crust is an old tar probably and the inside rock i believe is calcite. So, one very good example for a meteor wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
