Re: [meteorite-list] Opinions on this... whatever it is.
That line is interesting. I personally lean towards a slag. There are actually quite a few vesicles through the surface and if you have a look near the top-right corner there is a broken spot on the exterior revealing what appears to be a vesicle-filled and non-metallic interior. But it is hard to tell for sure from such a small pic.

Re: [meteorite-list] Opinions on this... whatever it is.
Hi Gang, The problem with a photo like this, it's just one angle and one photo. For all we know, the object is hollow with a cavity facing away from the camera. There could be a piece of scrap iron attached to the inside surface that the magnet is attracted to through the non-ferrous surface. Or, the attached magnet could be a fake, screwed in place to the object. I lived near an eccentric artist in Louisiana who had a yard full of weird metal art that he had welded together. I could see someone making something like this out of plaster, concrete, or paper mache over a wire frame. Without additional photos and some back story, one has to go strictly by what we see. The regmaglypts look decent, until you come to the trailing end of orientation - there we see regmaglypts facing off in multiple directions that are contrary to the other regmaglypts elsewhere on the mass. Whoever made this had some idea of what thumbprints look like, but they didn't understand aerodynamics and the forces at work which create them. Since a natural object like this is clearly impossible based on the thumbprinting alone, I'd wager that this is an artificial creation.

Re: [meteorite-list] Opinions on this... whatever it is
It looks like the rocks I saw while visiting the plant Zeurtron back in 1587. They often piled them up in their yards and took crystals and placed them on top. Spheres were also popular since they sat well in the thumbprints on top. Of course the people of Zeurtron had much bigger specimens of these. The Zeurtrons were closer to Venus and Neptune and often gathered artifacts from those ancient civilizations that were worshipped long ago by other cultures. I did see many of the cultures represented from the Earth from Old Europe and their paranoid objects represented there. I believe the Zeurtrons used to fly to Earth on weekend get-a-ways to have a good time and scare the earthlings and make them even more paranoid then they were in the 13th and 14th centuries and the objects they worshipped, much like the Earthlings are now. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
