[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 414734, member: 4386"] Although it looks a bit like one externally, it would require a huge error in SG measurement to get an SG of 3.8 instead of the SG 7 to 8 of an iron meteorite. It simply requires another careful determination of SG to be confident of the SG value, rather than guessing (if the original SG of 3.8 is confirmed it is nothing that we are discussing - but I greatly doubt that it will be confirmed). Until then further discussion is a bit pointless (but go ahead ;-)) One cannot determine an iron meteorite simply from a photo (in fact only a few minerals can be correctly guessed that way alone). And not only the SG would be wrong for an iron meteorite but also the streak. [/QUOTE]
