[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 617877, member: 4012"] The surface looks somewhat like a meteoritic fusion crust, although the rock appears to be a bit too smoothly rounded and uniform to me. However, my understanding is that meteorites with a fusion crust aren't magnetic and that only iron meteorites respond to a magnet. Unfortunately, iron meteorites are typically highly irregular in their shape and surface texture and look nothing like the rock in the pic: [url]https://tinyurl.com/kbd8fezv[/url] [/QUOTE]
