I've done some nickel tests on some of the slag/meteor wrongs we have found.
It tests positive for nickel. Does this sound normal? So I guess the only way to confirm slag (if you can't do it visually) is to cut it open and if there are holes / bubbles then it is slag. Or if the slice doesn't look like a meteorite slice it is slag. For the record, I am personally looking for west like fusion crusted stones and this is what I am training people to look for. At the same time when I get reports about weird rocks I have to follow up and take a look. Not all slag looks the same, there are a lot of different types. I'm getting pretty good at identifying / ruling things out, but the nickel test threw me for a loop. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
