Strapped 216 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Recovering from elbow surgery and I was getting bored walking around my neighborhood. I decided to go out to Willcox Playa and walk around there for a several hours. The weather was perfect today. When I first got there I did about a 1 1/2 mile circle around my truck and as I was just getting back to my truck...Space Rock! 18.6 grams. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Am I right to suppose this is an iron specimen? Bedrock Bob is correct. It is identical to a meteorite I found out there last year that is currently being classified at Arizona State. It will most likely be a L6 chondrite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
