[meteorite-list] Is this a meteorite ?

[Ingo Herkstroeter]

>Hi Listees!

I´ve seen a lot of weathered rocks like this in Namibia (mostly
lime-stones). But I wouldn´t expect this sort of weathering in France. To
check it out put a little drop of acid (HCl 10% or less) on the surface.
Make sure, that there is no dirt on the surface of the rock (could contain
lime). If you see bubbles, it´s limestone. Meteorites and HCl would´t show a
reaktion.
