Hi All, Flanged buttons of this type are limited to tektites, which undergo a vastly different formation process than meteorites. There are no meteorite flanged buttons, or if there is, I have not seen in during my experience of handling thousands of meteorites and seeing photos of tens of thousands of meteorites. Nor I have ever read anything in the scientific literature that allows for meteorite flanged buttons of this type.
This is either a meteorwrong, or a million-dollar find of the century - I'd bet on the former.
