2 meteorites?
roughly 5cm in diameter each
.
Extremely magnetic found in the desert Saudi Arabia,
both are positive to the nickel test.
Both are have a strong metallic shine when cut.
Very dense.
One of the meteorites looks like it has olivine veins in it. Are these meteorites and if so...
Hello everyone, I am new here.
Would you please let me know, what do you think about this specimen? Does it look like a meteorite or not?
Thank you in advance.
This is a chemical composition
Hello. I found this interesting rock near the rail road tracks near my house and it is magnetic on the bottom and has bubbly like substance on the top. I was wondering, could be a possible meteor or just regular iron ore??:icon_scratch:
I found this on the street while it was încet construction. We here in Romania bring all the construction stones from the mountains, we don’t use slag for street construction. I looked at this rock and it seemed interesting and when I heald it it was very heavy for a stone that size. I took my...
Hello, I live in Phoenix, AZ, I recently helped my Dad tare down the rock wall that has been in our front yard since we first moved in, 13 years ago. It was a beautiful wall, but he decided to expand. Not only were there rocks on the exterior, but 100's were cemented on the inside as well...
This heavy greyish silver stone is not magnetic but sounds like steel when two piece are struck together. Density is something like lead or a heavy metal.
I found this stone today near a small steam in the smoky hill river region of Kansas. It's extremely heavy and has a slight magnetic pull. It seemed very out of place amongst the seemingly stoneless stretches of farmland. Any ideas or answers to what this is or may be will be appreciated!
Grey, brown, and iron colored red bubbles and veins and crosshatching. It has lots of thumbprints and pores. It has what appears to be a drip or melting run of some metal ore. It is magnetic and relatively porous and hollow.
Hello!
I`ve recently been on a island trip and found these rocks. If anybody knows about these rocks and about their composition then let me know. The rocks were found from Hiiumaa, Estonia. There is a meteorite crater there.
I was searching alongside the railroad tracks near my house and brought a small strong magnet with me. I tested the rock when it was together and it stuck. The rock was heavy. I also can see small flakes inside with a flashlight though not sure if they are metallic or quartz.
Possible meteorite?
Any experts? I know it's unlikely but those pits resemble those on other stony meteorites.
about 9 inches long; 4-5 inches wide.
Weak attraction to magnet
Pits on all but one side.
No vesicles
Lighter Interior but very plain- no chondrules or metal flecks
Rust spots
Tiny...
i found this one while working in the field. I discovered a short time later, it has purple and red colors that cover half of the surface of the rock and a magnet will stick to it! What is it?
Has some kind of fusion crust, it's metallic and produces black-reddish brown powder when filed, any ideas on what it is, also thought it could be hematite, but it's not magnetic
Hi everyone!
Found this in ground (about 15 cm depth). It is magnetic, and rather heavy (145 grams). The size is 56mm*46mm*20mm. Also, my detector shows that it is non ferrous metal.
What do you think, could be a meteorite?
Thanks!
Help Me identify this!!
hello I registered with this site because I have an interesting rock that Im unsure about maybe you can give me some more information thanks
here are some more i picked up from the stormwater gutters with a magnet. please circle any that you think are meteorites with the paint program and then post the picture. thanks!!!
Found in north eastern Florida. It has a density well over 4, it is a metal, that fractures like a rock. It is extremely hard. It has a "fusion crust" I broke off a small corner to see whats inside. It looks like grains of very shiny metal under a microscope. It polishes to a mirror finish with...
