Adam,
Thanks for showing us the African meteorite object, very interesting!
My immediate thought was that the iron work is made by someone with
considerable skill in metal working, and for a tribe the 1700's in south
Africa that would be some feat. Since many of the techniques were
imported. So
Yep, it's actually amazing how un-radioactive meteorites are, when you consider where
they have come from and that some have actually melted due to radioactivity, long ago.
I guess the differentiation on an asteroid and the fact that there is no aqueous
action on the rocks, means that any nat
serious issue!
Just goes to show, every home should have a Geiger counter imho...

Didn't a famous Victorian explorer claim once that he had found a
massive meteorite in Egypt the size of a mountain/hill? (There have been
field expeditions, but no-one has ever found it) - Anyone know about
this?
I take it there is no connection with the new discoveries in Egypt?
