DO YOU THINK YOU'VE
FOUND A METEORITE? |
If you think you have found a meteorite I am happy to help you get it verified A few questions to consider: • Most meteorites have some magnetic attraction, does a magnet stick to it? • Most meteorites have a dark fusion crust and thumbprint-like indentations, does your rock? • If exposed to the elements, the exterior will appear rusty, is this the case? • Is there a glimpse into the interior, if so are there any shiny metallic flakes present? • Is the rock you found different from other rocks in the surrounding area? • Was there any depression in the ground where you found your rock? • Meteorites do not contain bubbles or pits, does your rock? Finally, go through this checklist devised by Deborah Guedes and colleagues from Brazil: |
