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
Ruben,
Can't be very dense then. Looks to be around 2mm diameter, and assuming
spherical at that dimension would be a density of 0.239 g/cc.
Are you sure it doesn't weigh 0.01 grams?

I know what you mean Mike. I was thinking one honking big lump down there.
On reflection though, I can imagine a couple of feet of ice giving as good
as it gets at the collision speeds involved. Judging by the propensity of
tiny bits this big one may well have been pretty beat up and fractured

Martin,
With respect.
(1) I strongly suspect many meteorites are gravitationally differentiated.
Extraterrestrial cumulates are thought to exist, and irons and pallasites
would probably not be formed in the absence of gravity. Large asteroids
are eminently large enough to have gravity effect
Aleksandr,
Has the appearance of an igneous porphyry of some sort. Looks like the
larger light phenocrysts are feldspars (fairly pale colour so possibly
plagioclase?) and possibly the dark flecks are biotite. It appears finely
veined with quartz or calcite so may have undergone some hydrothermal

Chris,
Working on oil and gas wells it is routine to test the fracture point of
the rock at the bottom of the well after having run and cemented a casing
string (leak off test). You do this by shutting in the well at surface and
pumping incremental volumes of mud into the hole and noting the rise
material comes not from how the meteor breaks
up, but from the deceleration profile and mass estimates.

The wiring loom is curious. Seems to be bundled with string tied with reef
knots. Doesn't look pretty, but I presume that plastic cable ties would
give up with UV exposure, and metal cable ties have a weight issue. Anyone
know the actual logic behind this assembly decision?
