[meteorite-list] New Quiz - the solution

[Merz]

Hello Christian and list, 

By pure chance I saw this iron on location during my summer holidays in Austria (2 weeks ago). I can confirm that it's really hard to distinguish from a real iron meteorite. 

Admirable example of a pseudo meteorite! 

Best regards, 
Thomas Merz
