Jayray 149 Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Definitely not meteoritic. A common terrestrial rock. Keep looking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jayray 149 Posted Wednesday at 05:56 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:56 PM When looking for chondrules, this is a good example of what they look like. Good luck. Jayray 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is in agreement with your meteoritic litany. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billpeters 372 Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM Meteorite fusion crust is normally smooth, black, and about as thick as your fingernail. It may have crazing surface cooling cracks that are less than one millimeter deep. Your boulder has nothing similar to meteoritical crust. billpeters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikestang 890 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) That is about as far away from fusion crust as a picture of my kitchen table. Edited 22 hours ago by Mikestang Quote Link to post Share on other sites
