Re: [meteorite-list] help me in understand analysis
Francesco, There are so many things that scream "terrestrial" about this "lunatic" rock. Almost, 47% glass(SiO2) and 20% of aluminum oxide!? This is likely man-made and my guess is that this is a byproduct of glass manufacturing.

I don't see the Mn percent. That is needed to get an Fe/Mn ratio.

Hello! a man have send me some pictures of a dozen stones and asked me wich types of meteorites could be. I answered that for me those materials are terrestrial.

I'm not able to understand this data, please someone could take a look and tell me if this material could be terrestrial or extra-terrestrial. No other analysis was done on the stones.
