Space Forum / Astronomy / July 2008Meteorite or common stone?
Hello everyone, Usually I don't have a lot to do with astronomy, but there's one event that I waned to hear your opinion about. Several years ago I came across a strange "stone", roughly egg-shaped, about 20x10cm. It was a bit warm and the grass under and around it was burnt. The stone was very dark-gray, almost black, similar to gravel in color. On its surface was a light-gray "sand" which fell off when touched (like when you remove sand from your skin after sunbathing). Inside the stone, where it was irregular it was possible to see 2 protruding balls of steel/iron or whatever - one was perfectly round (and I mean perfectly) and the other one was round only on one side, the other side was quite irregular. I left the stone at my friends place for inspection, but I've forgotten it and I've lost contact with the guy since that time. Recently I remembered it again and became curious. Could it have been a meteorite? If so, is it possible to tell something more about it based on the above description? Would be interesting to hear what you think. Artur Meteorites don't contain balls of steel/iron. It sounds like something which had been in a fire pit. Saul Levy >Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >Artur Thanks for the info. In that case I can just forget about it :-) It's strange though how something like that could pop up in the middle of a meadow.

P.P.S.: http://painellsworth.net Painius NASA picks up the best meteorites. They come off Mars surface,and in reality are very wet,and even I can prove how wet they are Bert Wet? How are they wet, BEERTbrain! You've claimed for ages now that Mars has no water. Is your missing Mars meteorite being kept in water? Saul Levy >Painius NASA picks up the best meteorites.

NASA finds them in the ice of the south pole area(Antarctica) Oh ya Bert > Cactus Saul Reason for these Mars rocks to be wet is this. NASA finds > them in the ice of the south pole area(Antarctica) Oh ya Bert Most of our Mars and moon rocks are to be found at the bottom of oceans, lakes, rivers and otherwise emerging from within our rapidly melting ice. If you want to believe that our moon has essentially always been a part of Earth, then do the moon crater volumetric displacement math, and tell us how many mega, giga or possibly even teratonnes of moon rock has to exist upon the wet, dry and otherwise under the icy covered surface of Earth. - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth But that's only the OUTSIDE, BEERTbrain! lmao! The outside is often contaminated by landing on Earth. Have to look deeper than that. Saul Levy >Cactus Saul Reason for these Mars rocks to be wet is this.

Could even be worth a few bucks, especially if you've got that date nailed down to within +/- a given day. - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth Yeah, some IDIOT on eBay might pay something for it, BradBoi! lmfjao! Meteorite? Not likely. Sat. junk? Not likely. Earth-based common junk? Very likely. A fool and his money get separated easily!
