I found a rock that I suspect may be a meteorite?
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to tell for sure. Here are some details:
-It was found in an area that does not have any similar looking native rock
-it is a broken fragment with a dark grey interior that includes small crystals inclusions, one side is glossy brownish-black. looks like a fusion crust to me, but I’m no expert
-it is not magnetic
-about 30 lbs
I have heard that a sure way to tell is to send a sample to a testing facility to check for a certain kind of nickle content. Does anyone have any thoughts as to if it would be worth it do do this? also, is there an official organization that can certify a rock as a mertiorite if I were to sell it
Not all meteorites are magnetic or contain nickle. Some have high carbon content.
Check out a nearby university to find an expert.
