List member Derik Bower sliced up the strange rock that was reported to me last week. (thanks Derik)
I originally thought this was a type of slag. When I sent the pics out to the list a lot of people said it was worth following up on. The window test revealed some bubbles and it was game over at that point. I wanted to slice it open just to see what it looked like on the inside: http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gideon-rock-slice.jpg Thanks for all the help last week with this. I learned several new identification tests: - base density test - window test - tile scrape test - slice test - nickle test Mike Hankey http://www.mikesastrophotos.com ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
