Adam,
Are the particles metallic? Can
they be picked up with a magnet? In a classic search for
micro-meteorites I found the same
type of thing in debris from my gutters. It was separated out with a
magnet and then sorted under a microscope. I thought that I had found a
great collection of micros. That is until I repeated the experiment on my
neighbors on both sides, nada, nothing, great disappointment! I have now
come to believe that they came from my composition shingles . I
have no idea how or what industrial process is involved. I will send you a
photo of some that I found. I have always wanted to know more but didn't
know where to go from here. I guess a nickel test could be done if I
sacrificed enough of them. So far I have been unwilling to as the
collecting was very labor intensive. I will be interested in your
results.
