[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 382798, member: 211"] It looks to have a texture similar to an iron-nickel meteorite. I found a couple of small ones, characteristic physical features of an iron-nickel meteorite are a metric lustre, high density, an almost melted look on one side normally away from a central point , smooth to pitted on the other. Mine has triangular hopper cavities one side, melted look on the other. I found two side by side. Not knowing what they were at the time I hammered one until it broke in two, it had a very metallic crystalline appearance. I kept one half on that one, tossed the other half and lost the other one before I found out what they were. the finger print looking texture is similar to Iron-nickel meteorite. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
