ivigo 10 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (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 by ivigo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billpeters 380 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 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 post Share on other sites
Mikestang 918 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Absolutely nothing to indicate a meteorite there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ivigo 10 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 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 post Share on other sites
