Mike,
Roofing shingles were discussed as the possible source. According to the
posts, University of Washington scientists were excitedly studying the
material. I'm just curious to know the results of those studies. No comparison
of PF to yesterdays picture of the day was intended. Here's a
I addressed the List in the past on these objects but
will repeat what I know from memory.
We have the shingle to the house the meteorite
penetrated and no, these objects did not come from the
roof shingle. Scientists who examined the shingle
agree. Interestingly though, there are tear shaped

Dear List,
We compared these to a composition shingle and could not find anything
similar. From what I understand a dumbbell has to be spinning in a

state in order to create

I sure am glad that I got my specimen early. Thanks again Mike for a great piece.

I certainly hope so, that makes my roof smasher that much more interesting.

Dear List Members,
While examining the contents of the game box
under a microscope we were shocked to see the following objects:
Dumbbell shaped glassy forms
Teardrop shaped glassy forms
and appears to bequite
metaliferous.
By this I mean sulfides.

Dear List Members,
You are going to think we are insane announcing
this but we feel it is important. We acquired a computer game still in the
box that was struck by a meteorite inside a house on Dunham street in the Park
Forest neighborhood. This is from the same site that Mike Farmer

Adam,

Adam,
I was just going to write and ask you the same question. Have you
checked the shingle? Meanwhile I have several grams of particles and
dust collected from five street and parking lot impact points, that I
Wow!
A great meteorite and now, tektites, too! Too much.
Any rock melt that is quenched too rapidly to form crystals
will produce an amorphous liquid, otherwise known as a glass. In

Hi,
If these are tar-tites, they would have to have been present before the
meteorite impact, since the heat necessary to have produced the tar-tites
could not have been generated by the impact (else you'd have charred wood,
etc.).
Only the purest pitch or bitumen will show glass-like
