Re: [meteorite-list] Poland Archaeology - Caveman Worshipped Meteorite
This link below states the object is pyrite. Given that it was found in association with flint tools my first inclination was to think it was a striker for fire starting, and a terrestrial pyrite nodule. The article states the meteorite conclusion was confirmed by specialized studies¹. However the quote below seems to suggest the Prof is in need of specialised treatment for an overactive imagination. According to the professor, the discovered fragment is surprisingly heavy. In addition, the side profile shape suggests various associations; the original finder millennia ago probably saw in it shapes of a mysterious world of spirits - added the scientist. Is meteoritic massive pyrite FeS2 known? I thought iron sulphides usually turned up as FeS troillite? http://www.naukawpolsce.pap.pl/en/news/news,400865,archaeologists-discovere d-a-meteorite-fragment-in-a-9-thousand-years-old-hut.html Regards, John On 02/07/2014 02:00, Paul Swartz via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com wrote: Today's Meteorite Picture of the Day: NWA 8007 Contributed by: David Allepuz http://www.tucsonmeteorites.com/mpodmain.asp __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Poland Archaeology - Caveman Worshipped Meteorite
The rock doesn't look like a meteorite to me. They do not indicate why they think it was a meteorite (since when do archaeologists know how to ID a meteorite?), who analyzed it, or what type of meteorite it is supposed to be. I say it's a piece of sandstone until a laboratory says otherwise. Michael in so. Cal.

Michael, I agree. No reference citing how they determined it was a meteorite. I can't find anything else online about it.

I agree. Looks like anything but a meteorite. The remark that it was inordinately heavy is interesting however.
