[meteorite-list] Strange Rock Reports

[JoshuaTreeMuseum]

Mike:

Here are some photos of a meteorite I take along on presentations to show 
what one may look like with the crust eroded away.  You can see the metal 
flecks in the cut unpolished small piece. You can also just make out tiny 
metallic spherules in the exterior.  I think this is a classified NWA, I'll 
have to check.

I'm not an optimist, I'm a skeptic, but this does sort of look like a 
meteorite. Cut that sucker open!
I don't know how the crust could have eroded away so quickly, so maybe not.
