Very rare, Ureilite

No scientists?

TNet is a wonderful site where collectors of many things can get together, virtually, and share, ask questions, etc. But it is not the best place on the internet for meteorite collecting, and meteorite collectors. It's a place, just not that many highly experienced collectors hanging out here. Also, I don't think you're going about things the right way, in the first place, just throwing up photos of rocks and expecting identification, or telling experienced collectors things that make no sense to many experienced collectors. It's pretty futile.


But, there are other venues. Like the Meteorite Central meteorite-list, which is a mailing list:

I think you're sorta beating your head against the wind in the manner you're going about things. I have not really seen anything that screams "meteorite" to me, and I've been collecting for over 35 years now.

Thank you very much,

In reading this thread I get the impression that the OP is not being intentionally antagonistic. His/her posts and assertions may be the result of a language barrier.

Hopefully Charl has pointed them in the right direction.

Uuuug
This is one of those “ He said She said” post that goes forever
Get the rocks looked at and tested by someone that can give professional documentation on what they are or aren’t.
I would of done that and then posted or followed up with documentation
I love reading informational posts so let’s get some answers here please

The amount of ill-informed nonsense being touted in this guy’s (or girl’s) multiple ‘meteorite’ threads beggars belief and he/she is accepting none of the advice being offered.

He/she is showing sedimentary chert/flint alongside volcanic rock with vesicles and saying they’re the same rock type; claiming rare ureilite meteorite types and then saying they might be from Mars (which is not the parent body for ureilites anyway); claiming he can see quartz crystals in his ‘meteorites’ (despite the fact that quartz has only rarely been identified in meteorites at microscopic level, not visible to the naked eye); claiming he has iron meteorites from outside our solar system (of which there are none known) and various other petrological impossibilities.

I think it’s pretty obvious that he/she has no interest in any information which corrects the mistaken belief that he/she is sitting on a gold-mine of meteoritical rarities. Sadly, he/she seems to be selling them to people without any verification, as evidenced by the comment on another thread: “You can rest assured that these specimens are reasonably priced, a lot of people buy”.

The excuse that he/she can’t get any professional verification: “Thank you, some LABS let me mail specimens, but it’s far from my country” is nothing more than that. An excuse, to avoid the specimens being identified for what they really are. Terrestrial rocks.

Well said Red-Coat
