It looks like a clast of some sort right above the penny. It is interesting that somebody thinks they can simple throw a find on eBay without any sort of verification, blurry images and get 3/4 of million for it. Maybe he is in some kind of a hurry before it is claimed like the Old Woman was in California. He was smart by bee-lining out of there, especially if dealers and researchers were scampering over it as was stated in the auction.

Yo, Texture's all wrong - it's a river-rock. Looks like hematite, goethite, ilmenite, etc - hard to say.

It looks like the Cosmic Easter Egg hunt might have paid off handsomely for a used car salesman! Talk about finding the mother load, pun intended! It would not surprise me at all to see it cut up if it fails to sell whole on eBay. I can imagine a complete slice of it right now. I wonder if will give off the famous Murchison aroma when cut? Pretty exciting!

Hi Adam, I would have bet money that it was cut. The one photo shows how flat it is - and yes, it is unusually flat indeed!

It is just unusually flat on one surface. Congratulations! It is interesting that the asking price is $700,000.00. My guess will be a no-sell by time the 10-day auction is up, especially if a 5 kilo piece shows up.

If anyone authenticated it we'd all know about it by now. Secondly, in one picture it's completely flat like a slice had been done.
