Fireball Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hellow everyone! Iam new to this forum and what I have looks like a meteorite. It has a dark brown fusion crust, contraction cracks,strongly magnetic and heavy for its size. I actually contacted two universities and i was told that this rock might be a chondrite. So I have high Hope of it being a meteorite. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/18242-my-first-ever-meteorite-find/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hellow! An update the university contacted me again and they told to grind a flat surface. If shiny iron flakes will be visible then it must be a chunk of a chondrite because native iron does not exist in terrestrial rocks, iam so exited to see the interior, fingers crossed ? and hope for some shiny metal flakes! 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/18242-my-first-ever-meteorite-find/#findComment-191821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
