Meteorite Or Rock?

[Chase Goldman]

If you are on the right side of the chart and it turns out to be a meteorite then you are finding a very rare type of stony meteorite specimen (and finding a meteorite of any type is rare in and of itself).  Good luck.  BTW your pics do not really give a view that does justice to the crust you say you are observing.

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
