[meteorite-list] Close-up New Jersey Object

[Mike Reynolds]

Norm,
I think that if they were to scratch it hard with a nail, it would go in 
pretty deep and be very shiny.

Thanks for the better picture Adam.  From the random
abrasions and percussion pits, it looks like a
fragment from some heavy equipment part that self
destructed, then got run over for a few months on a
hard surface.  How it came to fall out of the sky is a
mystery though.  Maybe it got stuck in the tire tread
of an airplane---

Cheers/Happy new orbit to all
Norm
