Lamerlamer12 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) My uncle took this stone 10 years back when it dropped onto his truck and crash onto his container roof. It is 7kg and it was retrieved in Malaysia back then. Any one knows what is this? Edited July 2, 2021 by Lamerlamer12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 There's more to this story than you let on. But it's not a meteorite. It's some type of water worn rock but don't know without further tests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Yes, it is hematite. A very common iron mineral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Looks worn round by water and not a meteorite, someone probably threw it in the back of the truck to get rid of it. Meteorite strike on a vehicle has happened before, however (Peekskill). Edited July 2, 2021 by Mikestang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I bet Bob Hague has the trunk lid of that car on display at his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last I heard the whole vehicle was sold to an individual and travels the country to display it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
