Meteorite Or Rock?


Recommended Posts

Grind or cut a window into your rock. If you can get a good look at the inside, it will tell us a lot more, good luck. ht

Chase I agree the photos I took only with my iPhone makes the layer look lighter than what I see with my naked eye under the same lighting conditions, I had taken the photos directly under a very bright 10w LED light(5000k). Also not sure how thick a fusion crust is or if weathering can lighten the crust but apparently non-iron meteors have a lighter fusion layer.

 

HT I was going to wait for UWO to get back to me but now I just want to find out what it is so probably tomorrow I will cut a small window with a saw, my brother has a diamond wet saw.

NOT a meteorite the color inside looks the same so I guess the outer layer is not fusion... Oh well learned a lot about Meteorites and next time will just cut it right away.

Thanks for all the help

Cheers

John
