Hi Jacob, I would like to see the photos. Thanks, Ken jacob morse wrote: Hello to everyone. I have become very excited about this hobby and research field after picking up what i believe to be an iron meteorite while looking for arrowheads as a hobby. Ive looked down at the ground for all my life and have found and analyzed many unique rocks and minerals, not to mention my artifact collection. This one struck my eye as something unique. When my wife asked me what it was, i told her slag, but after looking at it closely it didnt resemble any slag id ever seen. After looking at it with a magnifying glass, i saw crystalization all along a fusion like crust with flow lines and indications of extreme temperature that were on two sides of the rock. Around it it appeared to have fractured off of another rock of the same sort once impacting the ground. I hit the rock several times with a hammer and fractured it, broke off a chunk, and looked inside. It is an amazing spectacle of shiny metal with blue and green inclusions. solid and dense. specific gravity is 6.87. Had a metal castings analyst run it through a spectrometer and he notified us that is is 6% nickel, 70% iron, and 9% chromium. He didnt have the exact numbers, as he had already shipped it back to me, but he insured it as he thought it could very well be a meteorite. If someone wants to upload pictures, email me and ill send you a few. What should I do now? ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
