Hi Linton,

Slag is possible, I thing it is not even a good Mewteorite wrong.

Greatings, Rene

Betreff: [meteorite-list] dubious 'iron' on e-bay

Good day list,
I've been searching for meteorites from Utah on e-bay for quite some time, 
and an ad came up a few days  ago for an alleged iron.

The seller clearly doesn't know what he's talking about (not that I'm all 
that knowledgable). His grandfather found the 'rock', but apparently no 
testing or analysis was ever done. To me, it looks like some kind of manmade

material, slag perhaps. But the photos don't blow up and I can't discern any

detail. Would anyone care to share an opinion? I'd appreciate it.
Linton - thoroughly enjoying Tucson!
