[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 198666, member: 2964"] Hi Avenged, the find your dad made, looks very much like a stony meteorite (Chondrite) to me, complete with chrondules showing and a surface finish that looks about right........ and is that a piece of broken off outer crust on the back of the image. And finding it on the front yard concrete is also a possible indicator it could be one. The only way to know if it is a meteorite is to get it checked out by the museum if you are in Victoria. I am certain that you can keep meteorites you find in Victoria, you just cant export them overseas. There is a band of tektites sprayed over your neck of the woods also. Look in the sand dunes. Please keep us updated and give us the verdict when a meteorite expert identifies your rock. Cheers RDD [/QUOTE]
