Olivine has been widely used to protect the owens during the iron-melting process. To me the most common explanation is, that the melting-owen has exploded or been destroyed in some other way in a very high temperature, the slag was thrown to the lake on 50:s, and the divers found it, when they were searching the "real" Shirokovsky (the bolide really exists).
Think there is no reason to belive, the material is made for the purpose to sell it as a meteorite, and the finders really thought, they have found a pallasite.
Anyway, the material looks more like-iron-nickel ore with olivine than a pallasite to me.
Just my 2 cents...;-

Hi,
I would still like to know is, if indeed it is 'fake', how the hell was it created? The debate seems to have 'gone quiet'.
Coz I'd sure like to know how they did it! If it wasn't created where the hell did it originate?
Seems to me that the evidence only really rests on the fact that the olivine isotopic's sit right on the terrestrial line... could this be explained away by any other cause except it being 'from Earth'.

Hi All,
For those who save their Meteorite magazines, the Park Forest Special
(August 2003) contains a informative (I think anyway) news story about
the Shirokovsky rock.
Also, anyone besides me notice some slight parallels between Shirokovsky and the story Dan Brown (the Divinci Code author) weaves in his 2001 book titled Deception Point?
Cheers,
Martin
