Meteor I.D. and Stuff

[homefire]

Being a Newbie on the forum I feel sort of out of bounds being the first to post on this section.

I found what I suspected to be Meteorites a few times and convinced my self other wise. I gave them away calling them Natural Iron Nuggets and the what not.

After seeing this video , I have kicked my self in the hind end more then a few times.

This video is a bit strange but well on the way up the learning curve.

Any ways, here you are!

Homefire..I wouldn't be too hard on your self for giving away your nuggets...how were you to know..I surely would not have known....Nobody knows everything...I still learn new stuff everyday....Thanks for the link.............Buster...

Yep, I think I still have one berried in the book shelf some place. Next time I come accross one I will give it the what fore.

Yes this is gonna be my favorite part of the Forum, that is, if more people would post here!

I wished I lived in AZ or NM, the deserts make the hunt that much easier. The plus side of living here in North Carolina is relics are abundant, but meteorites are damn hard to come across.

Rocco! There here, their there, They be every where! Most people miss them by discriminating Iron!

Out here in the open, tracks you have a better chance to find a lot of nothing or a sky rock or two!



Ho Yea! Welcome to the crowed!

The thought of holding a Star in your hand is cool . Eaaaa?

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have found a few here in N.C. that I am sending, or have sent for testing already. They fit the criteria, including chondrules, magnetism, and density, also a few have pyroxene inclusions as well.

I'm gonna try and post pictures, so I hope this works.

There is also alot more examples there as well. if you would like to see some stunning photos, I recommend this site as well.

Anyone out there with meteorites, please post pictures, I love to look at meteorites. And if there is anyone who thinks they may have found one, post pictures also, and maybe we can identify what you got.
