[meteorite-list] looks like slag

Dear List,

Bernd asked:

"Well, where exactly (state, area) did you find it? What do you think its specific gravity
is? If it happens to look like a sphere, one might easily (but roughly) compute/estimate
its specific weight."

>This material was found in New Jersey. The woods in which it was found is part of thousands of acres of undeveloped land (mostly state & watershed property). I was @ 30 miles in from the nearest road.

>They do not look like spheres.

>As far as specific gravity, I have no idea....a piece the size of a man's fist weighs close to 2 lbs. It's heavy!
