[meteorite-list] Science Article: Rock Cracks Point North...

[Jerry A. Wallace]

Folks,

Stumbled upon this article that will undoubtedly be of interest
to a number of you. Fascinating theory. Many of the desert and
dry lakes hunters can put it to the test. Have any of you noticed
this phenomenon? I see no reason why, over time, the process
wouldn't apply to a meteorite just as well as any terrestrial rock.

It could take millenia for the process to work depending on the
how dark the rock is, as well as its chemical contituency.
