Of course I care if it's a meteorite. I know it's iron. I said that in the OP. There are certain tests to identify a metorite. Iron being one, magnetic being another and density. I just found his post condescending. The whole Grats? part.. Could be my estrogen levels today../shrug..

You didn't seem to believe your metal detector, so you wanted confirmation of composition, not origin. The "grats" was yay, you got a lump of iron ore. Meteorites hit earth all day every day, still not sure I would consider that special. If it had some iridium, then you could activate a tesseract.

So one of our members got back to me. Here is what he told me..

From just looking at the pictures, I'd say its a meteorite. It's admittedly not my area of expertise, but I've seen a few, and that looks like some of the achondrite meteorites I've come across.


The reason why I care is value. Some meteorites are worth some serious money. The odds of me finding one of them are slim, but worth following up on.

If you found a meteorite that is cool. I don't know why Deathwing is being a douche about it.

I think a lot of modern geology is industrial mining techniques. Studying fault lines, deep structures, the attributes of soil composition as they relate to construction, stuff like that. I'd say to email a geology professor -- but honestly you might have better luck with some sort of specific hobby site. I don't think that geologists really have any particular reason to study starmetal. A geologist may be more inclined to have that as a hobby though, so you might get lucky.

I'm sure it'll end up being a think of frozen shit, just like in Joe Dirt. That or maybe if it is a meteorite, convo can use it to pay for his pantheon forum sub

That there's a shitshow over a hunk of meteorite is pretty funny though.

That's not what I started with... I was replying to his "grats" comment...

I dunno.. He sounds jealous to me..=P

Iannis- I agree, I'm reaching out to people who study them. Just havent heard back yet.

In my defense, he didn't state anywhere that he thought it was extraterrestrial. So, wouldn't it be safe to assume he was asking about composition? Considering he was secretive at first for reasons I still don't understand, I think a lump of iron ore gets a grats. Now, if it's actually what that website says...geez.
