No, there are no fossils in or on the stone, hopefully the classification will be done soon. Maybe the pictures are not showing what is seen in hand? About half of the surface on one side is covered in weathered fusion crust. It certainly is a meteorite. |

The stone will not scratch glass no matter how hard I push so it's not quartz. This material looks very similar to Tirhert under magnification. Of course, that doesn't make it a meteorite, but the smooth surface and apparent regmaglypts would suggest a meteorite. |

Yes Larry, and I just answered you. Yes, I saw the bit of burnt cloth on Photo2, the fibers are quite visible, but that is not what I was looking at. I was looking at the grainy texture of the rock, and it is even more visible on the picture of a cut face you sent to me. To me, on that picture, they look like grains of quartz, not chondrules. |

Hi Anne,I have emailed you picture of the cut sample, can you comment? |

Hi Anne, Yes, it is certainly a meteorite. The texture of the stone in photo's 2 and 3 is altered due to the burnt cloth, which has a bit of a waxy feel to it and has changed the appearance.
Other opinions? |

I am sorry, but............Are you sure it is a meteorite? Look at the texture of the rock (Photo2, photo3). Did you cut a window to see the inside? |

Great reggs on the surface and a great shape!
Any idea of a possible H or L ?
Well done Larry |
