Merorite-found near Edwards AFB

[trapperjon]

This metorite is magnetic,it throws a compass off course,and you cannot cut it.well maybe with a diamond saw,special blade,which I dont have. It weighs more than it looks. Also has been shaved on 2 sides,like someone was taking specimans off of it ,or it was being used for some purpose.

Mine also has gold/silver in it, though I sent some pics away to a website for identification and he said it was a slag.

Have a look at mine - Toms Meteorite, they look the same.

Hello, looks to me like you have an Iron meteorite. Look at the lines it makes when it is polished, I see lines all around in there.

This strongly resembles a shell fragment. Very Similar to fragments found in France.

Did you say it was found near an AFB? If its the one in Austin, you should know, no iron meteorites have been found in Travis county.

From what I have read, a sure test is that a meteorite will be attracted to a magnet. If it is not, then it is not a meteorite.
