Marcin There is nothing about this meteorite that suggests meteorwrong. solid iron, no cracks, no holes. Just a guy who likely has never seen a meteorite declaring that it was not a meteorite. It seems most geologists dont know a thing about meteorites. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On

Marcin, Very good point. The science needed to be done to verify it. It's like Sir Ernest Rutherford said. All science is either physics or stamp collecting. I'm glad people take Farmer seriously or this possibly would never have gotten verified by science. Carl -- Carl or Debbie Esparza

This iron weighs 8.5 kilograms. They were told it has sandstone inside by a geologist. The finder almost threw it away when told it was not a meteorite! Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On Apr 20, 2011, at 9:24 AM, Michael Johnson mich...@rocksfromspace.org wrote:

Many of you have had a similar experience. You take a sample into the local geology department and most times they don't have a clue or give you the wrong answer. Most wouldn't know an iron meteorite from an iron concretion. It gets even worse with stones. Ted On 4/20/11 7:24 AM, Michael

But to be honest this specimen is more similar to meteorwrong than to a typical iron meteorite :) so maybe someone from Univ. just look at it and say what he say's million times before its not meteorite, its a slag. Just my feeling. Congratulations Mike. -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[
