Hello List,
Regarding the May 8, 2010 RFSPOD
Some weeks ago I recieved confirmation that the little iron 'meteorite'
with the hole through the center is in fact pure iron, a man made
relic. All of you out there that knew it was too good to be true were
spot on!

Hi John,
You are right- McCartney did an awesome job - he has got me on my
toes! However, if you look closely you will see he actually attached
it to my How to I.D. a meteorite video. It was one of the first
videos I ever posted (3 years ago) It now has nearly 120,000 views!

Of all the Meteorite Men engendered meteorwrongs and leaverite that's been
brought to the museum lately, this one was the most interesting. It was
found in southern Michigan by the area's largest rock dealer, (for
landscaping and decorative use). I know it's not a meteorite, but I'm not a

I thought this rock was NWA869. It's supposed to be from New Mexico. Not

Xavier, if *you* want to be 100% sure they are (not) meteoritic,
why not cut a window or have a window cut into your two stones.
If there are FeNi patches (nickel-iron) and maybe chondrules or
other tell-tale features, it would be proof beyond doubt. Just an
idea from Germany.

Hi Tom
Had you thought of a volcanic bomb? These are ejecta
which can travel some distance before hitting ground,
depending on the strength of the eruption.
Do a search on google.com under volcanic bombs and

Well to be fair he states he don't know what it is and doesn't care,
so he's really not being dishonest IMHO. He provided a number of
