Jimale 38 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi, to all. One thing I have observed with most of the forum members is that they have learnt meteorite identification in one way, that is all -they don't want to be left handed at an old age- mind you, meteorite come in all shapes, size, colour, and texture. Not always smooth, velvet leather like expectation. Meteorites don't always look like the one you have seen in your local museum. This one fell, while with friends in my thatched 'makuti' house, No media report though, it will soon appear on e-bay. N.B. :Copyright law apply.Jimale Enterprise.com.

Mikestang 923 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Looks nothing like a meteorite. They do come in all shapes and sizes, but that doesn't mean that every shape and size is a meteorite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or it's the usual thing, like if it is not from us it not a meteorite.d Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The discussion is based on the physical characteristics of meteorites, photo identification, and a constructive debate on the same. Why did the debate move to an evidence base, meteorites don't fall from space while classified. It's only done after a collector obtains the material from the founder. What a disgrace man! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikestang 923 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 No, you have it backwards, and I'm attacking the issue (i.e. your finds not being meteorites) head on. The finder gets their find classified, then sells/donates/collects/etc. it. But to use your line of reasoning, your photos and the physical characteristics therein are not conducive to meteorite finds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You claim the item pictured is a meteorite. Mike, a very experienced meteorite hunter, says based on what he can see that it is not a meteorite. So, he’s a disgrace for stating his opinion? But see, here’s the thing. You, as the person claiming the item is a meteorite, have the burden of proof. You say it’s a meteorite. Prove it. Go get it classified and make us eat our words. Until then, it’s just a piece of vesicular basalt. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like those ideas better than a link. I probably would not click blindly into a link. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
