Dear M, M come, and List;
This was my thought as well. Nice quality pictures showed
quartz/feldspar-like matrix that reminded me of more terrestrial
materials. Knowing the history of sedimentary related materials from
this area kept me in this frame of thoughts.
I am not the final word, any o
Good day all,
The matrix does look unusual. However, the exterior sure looks like fusion crust to me; similar to what I have seen before on a CK3. Very interesting. A couple of good microphotographs at 20X and 40X might be helpful too.
Best Regards,

I know very little about terrestrial geology (or any other, really ;-) but
it resembles altered granite, like a gneiss or (less so) a schist. Don't

section of it, has any analysis been done on this rock? Does it pass t

the longer you look the better your odds are of actually picking one up.

Mohamed,
Depending on the locale, it may be a sample of Troctolite or "Trout Stone.

Hello Mohamed,
It appears to me that you are looking too hard for meteorites. You have
shown as many or more, hopeful lunars and rare types then chondrites. As
others have suggested try looking for smaller stones and chondrites. If I
remember right you mentioned you are in Oman. Send me your

Dear Mohamed:
So far you have submitted :
Suspected Chondrite which is likely a sandstone with reduction spheres
(ahem,NOT oolites).
Lunar Basalt..which is likely terrestrial basalt (amygdaloidal)
Lunar IMpact Melt which is possibly a breccia in what appears as
quartz but is too lustrous to be
