[meteorite-list] Fossilized Fruit or meteorite

Sat Mar 3 09:09:29 EST 2012

Hello Jason, List,

I think Jason has the best, most likely theory yet.

Looking at those images solved another geo mystery for me. Last year I 
found a "ribbon bomb" I had no idea how it was made until now, reading 
through some literature on volcanic bombs.

Thanks for the link!

Sincerely,

Hello Larry, All,
It looks like a volcanic bomb.  Larry noted that it was found amongst 
other volcanic rocks, and the outside does appear to exhibit "flow 
lines" - I'd bet on its being volcanic.  If it is one, it's one of the 
better examples I've seen from the southwest.

A number of look-alikes visible in the above link.

Jason
