Every time I see a video in my feed from you my first thought is “meh, not that interested in that subject”. Then I watch the video and thanks to Emily’s enthusiasm and the wonderful presentation, by the end it’s “wow, I am REALLY interested in that subject!” Great work!
I was a former teacher for 8 years, went to the private sector for a few years, back working in finance for a state government job. I was asked to provide an in-service on how to teach for all staff since it was lacking and a few of my points were be yourself, inject your personality, and if you do it correctly you can make boring subject matter interesting. Emily is the epitome of that, she knows who she is and isn't, injects her personality to relate, and can make just about any subject matter interesting.
the ratio is around 400:1 or 0.25% (99.75% are just meteowrongs), for every 400 stones that look a lot like a meteorite one turns out to be a meteorite, my research and experience
I found a rocks in my yard, I don't know if its meteorite, I'm amazed because it spark,like a glitters on it. It's so heavy and it seems like a meteorite.
@@dagaragjohnreign517 try using a magnet to see if it is ferrous. It's not surefire but it could help narrow things down. You could also order a 20 dollar pocket microscope to check the grain structure more closely which may help. I'd love to do an assay on it but sadly my university's labs are all closed at the moment. But also keep your eyes peeled for experts in your area you could contact. Do you have any photos of it on like an Instagram?
I worked as a blacksmith: his explanation of "clinker" is actually spot on. The small bits of slag that form in the forge fire make a metallic ring, or "clinking" sound, when hit with the fire poker or when thrown into a bucket to be disposed off. The coke (burned bituminous coal) in the fire doesn't "clink". Excellent video, much thanks! Another "smells like knowledge" sometime?
.... That nerdrap at the beginning took me right back to middle school geology! I love it! How is this show so magical? Seriously, though, I've got my final exam today in anatomy and physiology; as a pre-nursing student, this show has really helped me maintain focus on my curiosity, rather than my stress over grades. Thanks, Emily!
4/4, beginner's luck! I'm absolute garbage when it comes to non-living things. How do you feel about an episode of 'how to read rocks for dummies'? Whenever I travel and see weird shapes/cracks, I always wish I could 'read' the rocks to find out more about the region's past. I think Jim can explain it in the most accessible way for a total dummy like me.
Go-to Grand canyon lay on your side ..top new , bottom old , nobody cares they can't find the gold , next Wyoming , layers bent , gniess ,. Inverted swirled into "s " ..mountain building makes heat , hot rocks bend ....shiny rocks good , follow the crystiles , many are elements , ovline is kewl !
Emily is such an inspiration. Her enthusiasm and propensity for science is wonderful to see. She wasn't from a specifically science background, which goes to show anyone can learn and become a scientist . Great work.
This reminds me of lyrics from the Joanna Newson song “Emily”. She wrote it about her sister who is a astrophysicist (I think...if I recall correctly) A bit goes: “That the meteorite is a source of the light And the meteor's just what we see And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee”
Not only is it a great mnemonic, it's a beautiful song as well. Joanna Newsom is brilliant! She goes on: "The meteorite's just what causes the light/ and the meteor's how it's perceived/ The meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee." I saw her perform it with the CSO years ago (they played all the songs from Ys that night) and it was magical.
You know that it’s going to be an extra awesome video when Jim’s in it! This was really fun even though geology etc isn’t something I’m usually super interested in!
Ohh yay, I listened well. Got all of the answers correct! But super awesome video. I think I've found those slag rocks thinking they might be meteorites when I was a kid.
I think I found one about 5 years ago and just put it on the mantel. It is an iron one and has all the characteristics of what you pointed out but mine is two pieces fused together with that white , what looks like paper, in between the two. It's kind of flat broken on three sides and more round where it's has the whitening from entering the atmosphere and heating up? It's quite interesting and makes you wonder if anything is stuck in the fused area which is flattened.
Very fun episode, Emily and crew! I've really enjoyed all the BrainScoop episodes that relate to geology like the gems episode, and I hope to continue seeing more in the future!
This is so cool because I recently found this channel and I also recently found a meteorite in my own backyard but you have to understand is I've been searching my entire life and then I find it in my backyard
Hello there , so I came across a meteorite rock in my backyard in Egypt and was wondering if I can send some pictures to get more information about it . thank you.
I used to live in the Florida Keys. Well, one day I was out fishing on this bridge and all afternoon I swore I was seeing rocks falling from the sky. We were literally in the middle of nowhere (few homes and none nearby, no boats, etc), so I couldn't figure it out... I mentioned to my friends (a bunch of guys) that I was seeing rocks falling and of course they're like, "oh she's drunk - no more beer for Hannah today"! So yeah, I had been drinking, but I knew I was seeing those damn rocks literally all day long. We were still there when nightfall came around; all of a sudden the darkness (there were no streetlights there - it's like being out in the country) turned into this strange kind of flickering (but very, very bright) daylight! Then we heard this static/sizzling sound, followed by a number of loud 'booms' - I looked up and saw a massive fireball, spewing off flames and sparks with tons of white smoke, all of which extended in a trail up into space. We watched the meteor strike the ocean, and watched it glow as it sank into the depths. At first we thought it was going to explode and we all kind of braced ourselves for it! Then of course we all joked about if another one fell and it was on land, who would poke it with a stick (like in the movie 'The Blob'). Anyway, for the next 4 hours meteorites fell everywhere - some striking the palm trees and knocking off the fronds, and even causing them to burn. We watched a number of them strike the water as well... On my drive back home I saw a meteorite hit a person's roof and burst into flames and sparks as it bounced off of it. Numerous meteorites flew right over my car - at times I thought I was going to get hit by one! On the radio the DJ advised people to "stay inside, away from windows, until the meteors end". These space visitors caused fires all over - mainly the roofs of houses, but also burning up some palm trees and causing small bush fires. Not long ago at my job I had met a fire chief of a big suburb out here in Chicago, and we were discussing the 'Great Chicago Fire' when he said, "there were a lot of meteorites reported falling the night the fire started, and in fact there were large fires that erupted in Indiana and Milwaukee as well - again where people reported seeing numerous meteorites falling; and people said that these meteorites had set things on fire when they struck the ground". I told him my story about meteorites, and he replied that since the Chicago Fire there have been hundreds of reports of space rocks causing fires here on the planet! Go figure! Anyway, it was obvious that those rocks I saw falling from the empty sky during the day were also meteorites - yes, you can see them during the day.
When I see the darkened rock surfaces, my first thought is of desert varnish; I believe the blackish or purplish kinds involve manganese oxides, just like the manganese ore.
Wow that's totally amazing I was watching a video this morning regarding the volcanic compilation of the earth and what things are present when you find gold under the same terminology of rock description that you're making regarding meteorites I think that's pretty cool the similarity that is.
I love how museums will identify rocks. My six year old is obsessed with geology so we went on a trip to a geology museum and they told her she could bring in anything on her next trip and they'd identify it. That was super nice but now shes set on finding a mystery so she has to try to find something she can't ID. At least it keeps her busy! We have a ton of rocks around here though!
My grandpa had a funny adventure: he was carrying a bucket of water from a well when he heard a whistling sound above his head and saw a strick of light coming down, he dropped the bucket and jumped off just to see a cloud of steam bursting from the bucket. At the bottom he found a half kilogrammes rock. Unfortunately it was lost somewhere during the history...
After 8-yrs of hunting and disregarding about a million Earth origin rocks, i have a small (suspect breccia meteorite) find that passes every test in my power to achieve. I set my goal to be the only person so far to find a meteorite in Kansas City Mo, and hope this rare find helps to grow our knowledge of the universe. (your-upload-was-great)
I loved this video! Great interview and editing/graphics too. I was looking for a video like this and it's perfect for understanding spatial / earth bound rocks.🌚
Sir ~ Where would I be able to identify a few shiny, black stones (not meteorites) semi-magnetic, found near Lancaster, Calif.? Thank you and kind regards, DAL-K
after i quit laughing, the rest of the video was quite interesting. not sure if i could recognise a meteorRITE everytime, but i did as well on the quiz as Emily. really enjoy these "brainscoops". now, on to more!
The mythical stories of legendary warrior brandishing weapons made from fallen meteors. it's just an iron weapon........that kinda dispelled the magical qualities of the story i guess. But i guess iron is kinda hard to find during those time so it's kinda magical or rare.
Hi guys loved the video, it's very informative and entertaining. About 8 years ago I found what I believe to be a meteorite and last year I took it to a geologist at my local university after emailing her some pictures of it. She was excited to see it and after looking at it and doing a streak test she told me she believes it is a type of stony meteorite, but couldn't say for certain because she only studies terrestrial rocks. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on who to contact to say for certain what it is, I would also love to send you guys some pictures of it as well to get your opinion, if you're interested.
Me and my brother used to play with pieces of ironslag when i was a little kid and pretended it was meteorites (even if we knew it was not). I agree with that i guess most kids think a meteorite should look like that.
I have a stoney iron meteorite that I bought online. It has orange or yellow crystals. They keep falling out. Should I glue them back into the specimen?
The origin of pallasites may not be what Jim claims at 6:44. A more recent (2007) hypothesis suggests that they are generated from impacts of core and mantle materials. Also, is it true that you have a 487 kg pallasite in the Field Museum? I would like to see that!
Liqwid Sky they also think that if the asteroid belt is made of failed planets that a pallasite is the part of the failed planet that would lay between the mantle and core, hence the growth of olivine grains
I have one you did not talk about . It was in the front middle on your rock layout. It has a very silver look to it. What is that rock? Sincerely Kati Harper
Holy shit, thank you thank you thank you! Heard a thunk noise on my roof, next day I checked it out. Sitting in the rain gutter was a black stone. It's magnetic and covered in flow lines. But it's only the size of a quarter? Do they make it here that small?
In 2022, I was in my homeland of Puerto Rico, and there was a news coverage that a meteoroid swept over the north side of the island. The next day I was fishing I was walking through the sand. When does dark stone stood out from all others the rock is about 3 inches And it cracked and it has a thin crust shiny looks a little brownish reddish, but a lot of characteristic like a meteoroid. I also found smaller pieces around that area, but could not find anything else unless it fell in the water on the ocean side but I really wanted to know, if you could test my meteorites or where could I go for testing? I live in Boston Massachusetts many people tell me to go to the Museum of science, but I am not sure what can I do to verify that this is a legitimate meteoroid.? 0:39
It is but once your space ship lands on earth the meteoroid technically touched the ground. So if you want a meteoroid you will need a sort of levitation technology to ensure that it never touched anything that is connected to the ground
@@veggiejuice3004 I suppose you could argue that it turns to meteorite once it is intercepted by any "earthly object." If you put it in a jar and release it in a different orbit it becomes an artificial satellite. If you cover it in peanut butter it certainly must not be an asteroid anymore.
And then there's a handful of rocks that can be described as both a meteoRIGHT and a meteoWRONG. As a kid (roughly three decades ago... I'm old) I bought what I was told was a meteorite. After watching your video, I located it and looked. Admittedly, your video said that it didn't cover all of the types of meteorites, but mine didn't seem to fit many of your descriptions of what it should be. But surprisingly, I still had the certificate of authenticity. And in that certificate, my rock is specifically described as a tektite. While some scientists once (still?) believed that tektites are pieces of meteorites (and that belief was more prevalent in the 80s when I bought this, and my certificate does say it is the type of meteorite called a tektite), the general consensus now seems to be that tektites are terrestrial, but were formed when a meteorite hit the Earth, and the heat and pressure from the impact fused/melted the nearby terrestrial material into tektites. So not as cool as a rock from space, but a rock made from the impact from a rock from space is still cool. So until someone proves I don't actually have a tektite and that I completely wasted my money as a kid, I consider it both a meteoRIGHT and a meteoWRONG, because it wouldn't have existed without a meteorite impact even if it isn't a meteorite itself. In any case, I probably wouldn't have researched my rock as much as I did if I hadn't watched this video.
Jason Corfman it’s not a meteorite then. Tektite is a type of glass that is created by soil/sand that forms into a glass from the high intense heat caused by a meteorite/asteroid strike on earth. So no there are none that can be considered a meteorite and a meteor-wrong. A tektite is not a rock or a meteorite.
I won't say the university, but I took it and had six geologist look at it. They were stumped didn't know what it was. My next stop is going to UCLA. Let's see what they have to say about my rock specimen if it's a meteorite. It meets all the criteria. But no one can tell me. Not even the experts. This is a true story.

How many meteorwrongs make a meteorite?
Just one... dropped from outer space.
Maybe she can get NASA or SpaceX to being that rock up into space and drop it to correct the error.. ;)

If loving space rocks is Meteor wrong, I don't want to be a meteorite.

He came up with that out of nowhere. It was mind blowing. Jim is always a 10/10 guest on the program!
Aww, Thanks Em.
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
Should pursue passion.
A little surprised by the missed opportunity for a "nailed it" pun with the magnetite.
omg
Muito bom 😃 parabéns. Brasíl

P.S. please tell Jim he makes the best womp womp noise he should be TBS' official SFX person
hey that's a great idea! I'm actually working on something sort of like this... :)

I loved the quiz!! PLEASE do more like this! I felt like I learned so much 😊
I got a 4/4 btw, you guys are good teachers!!
Emily is such an inspiration. Her enthusiasm and propensity for science is wonderful to see. She wasn't from a specifically science background, which goes to show anyone can learn and become a scientist . Great work.
The captain hammer shirt is legendary
The hammer is my... rocks from space?
They also have a crash course poster in the background
This reminds me of lyrics from the Joanna Newson song “Emily”. She wrote it about her sister who is a astrophysicist (I think...if I recall correctly)
A bit goes:
“That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see

Indeed! Absolute lyrical genius!
And thank you for the heart Emily!
After so many years I still wait for the phrase "It still has brains on it" at the end.
Awesome video!!!
It will happen one day because it's a no brainer, so dont lose hope my dude.
Can I just say that I am super excited to watch this on my lunch break today? T-2 hours til noon EST. Jim is my favorite guest!!
You know that it’s going to be an extra awesome video when Jim’s in it! This was really fun even though geology etc isn’t something I’m usually super interested in!
+1 for Jim's Captain Hammer shirt. He's definitely a hero in his own way.
Thank you for keeping the it still has brains on it comment at the end for us who have been watching you since that video
Jim is such a good teacher, informative AND making it fun
Ohh yay, I listened well. Got all of the answers correct! But super awesome video. I think I've found those slag rocks thinking they might be meteorites when I was a kid.
I think I found one about 5 years ago and just put it on the mantel. It is an iron one and has all the characteristics of what you pointed out but mine is two pieces fused together with that white , what looks like paper, in between the two. It's kind of flat broken on three sides and more round where it's has the whitening from entering the atmosphere and heating up? It's quite interesting and makes you wonder if anything is stuck in the fused area which is flattened.
I love the Captin Hammer shirt. Love the (accidental?) Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog shout out. Keep bringing the good geology content. It rocks.
Very fun episode, Emily and crew! I've really enjoyed all the BrainScoop episodes that relate to geology like the gems episode, and I hope to continue seeing more in the future!
I enjoy this channel tremendously!
Feliz 2023
Seeing Emily puts a smile on my face but I especially love it when she gets excited over sciency stuff.
Well this is the fourth video I've watched, and I'm hooked. You do an amazing job.
This is so cool because I recently found this channel and I also recently found a meteorite in my own backyard but you have to understand is I've been searching my entire life and then I find it in my backyard
Hello there , so I came across a meteorite rock in my backyard in Egypt and was wondering if I can send some pictures to get more information about it . thank you.
This was such a creative use of the polling feature! More, please!
I am officially in LOVE with Emily! She just combined my two favorite hobbies, Rockhounding (Geology) and Astronomy.

Hannah Cwik Cool story!
that's so intense, thank you for sharing!
Did you collect any?
No, we were more interested not getting killed by one of those damn flying rocks!
I kinda wish I could have been there to see it, I would've been scared but curious at the same time and probably would've tried to get one to keep.
When I see the darkened rock surfaces, my first thought is of desert varnish; I believe the blackish or purplish kinds involve manganese oxides, just like the manganese ore.
You know Emily's channel is the only one I'm subbed to that doesn't pee me off with adverts:) not one! Cheers Emily
Nice to see some geology on the channel! I'm glad I was able to identify all the meteor wrongs it's been a long while since I was at uni.
Wow that's totally amazing I was watching a video this morning regarding the volcanic compilation of the earth and what things are present when you find gold under the same terminology of rock description that you're making regarding meteorites I think that's pretty cool the similarity that is.

Hi Emily, any thoughts on collaboration videos with other museums, like the Museum of Natural History in NYC?
got 4/4! i loved geology as a kid so this episode was so fun, and Jim is great as always. Hope you do more quiz time's in the future!! 😁
gosh,I am happy everytime Jim Holstein (what a fitting name for the geology field... in German.) pops up on your show :D geology/geoscience rocks
This was great!! Thanks for making a really cool video!
My grandpa had a funny adventure: he was carrying a bucket of water from a well when he heard a whistling sound above his head and saw a strick of light coming down, he dropped the bucket and jumped off just to see a cloud of steam bursting from the bucket.

WTF took me so long to discover your channel, I'm a biology major (microbiology). I shall binge watch you now. (saw you on Ask a Mortician )
ruclips.net/video/nSFhUHwtWUU/видео.html On the channel there are 12 clips of meteor strike and formed minerals
My enthusiasm for this channel only grows!
I loved this video! Great interview and editing/graphics too. I was looking for a video like this and it's perfect for understanding spatial / earth bound rocks.🌚
A part of me ships these 2. Jim's puns are just awesome
I am always down for videos about cool rocks
Thanks, you two have good energy, very engaging!
At 10:56 I had this entire Dr who slow invasion moment.
Love this episode! I only got 3 out of 4 correct, but yay! I learned things! Also, is Jim wearing a Captain Hammer t-shirt?
Can you please tell me what website I can download images to to get possible insight on what I should do with the items that I have
Love your channel, keep up the great work. :)
When that rock shifted at 10:56 I don't know why but I suddenly got this fight or flight response like something very wrong had just happened.
Sir ~
Where would I be able to identify a few shiny, black stones (not meteorites) semi-magnetic, found near Lancaster, Calif.? Thank you and kind regards, DAL-K
It still has meteorites on it.
I got three out of four right, the same as Emily did.
10:04
»[You know] what time it is?«
»Lunch time!«
Very informative - great teachers thank you!
I'm sorry, we're we playing a game? I was fully distracted by the Captain Hammer t-shirt. We do the weird stuff.
after i quit laughing, the rest of the video was quite interesting. not sure if i could recognise a meteorRITE everytime, but i did as well on the quiz as Emily. really enjoy these "brainscoops". now, on to more!
"Ready to rock...", I love this guy! Embrace your inner dork :D
4/4. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I've got a strong background in geology but meteors are well outside my experience.
They are the best , go study ! They are old , 4.5678 billion years , get back to rock !
5:55 “yes, you are...
(Blush) I mean the meteorite!”
Hey, where can i go to to get my rock cut to identify it as a meteorite or not? what type of cutting is used?
The mythical stories of legendary warrior brandishing weapons made from fallen meteors. it's just an iron weapon........that kinda dispelled the magical qualities of the story i guess. But i guess iron is kinda hard to find during those time so it's kinda magical or rare.
thats an insane collection
More rock and mineral videos, please!
I have something look like a meteorite
What tool can you use to cut through the rock?
hi is it true metrolites moves by themselves or you can get shock when you touch it?

Alexander Spear you need to keep the specimen in a low humidity environment, otherwise it will completely deteriorate
Where can I get a meteorite get tested in Vancouver BC Canada?
Flashbacks to geology in college! As in that class, I didn't do particularly well. But this was fun!
Feliz 2023
Nice and clear explanation.
Well done!
Complimenti!
" A big ol chunk of poopie! Bowling bombs we call them."
Thank yall for making this video. And I like what ole man said, you cant trust the internet take it to someone that wont lie lol much love from TN
The origin of pallasites may not be what Jim claims at 6:44. A more recent (2007) hypothesis suggests that they are generated from impacts of core and mantle materials.
Also, is it true that you have a 487 kg pallasite in the Field Museum? I would like to see that!
Liqwid Sky they also think that if the asteroid belt is made of failed planets that a pallasite is the part of the failed planet that would lay between the mantle and core, hence the growth of olivine grains
Great hair style Emily!
She has a video on her personal channel that explains how to do it. All I remember is step one: "Getcha comb!"
I think we found Meteorite.., this is bullet shape & high density.. we plan to sell..my Meteorite..
I have a question does a carbonado diamond with fusion crust a meteorit
I have one you did not talk about . It was in the front middle on your rock layout. It has a very silver look to it. What is that rock?
Sincerely Kati Harper
Holy shit, thank you thank you thank you! Heard a thunk noise on my roof, next day I checked it out. Sitting in the rain gutter was a black stone. It's magnetic and covered in flow lines. But it's only the size of a quarter? Do they make it here that small?
Oh yeeeaaaahhh! I love videos with Jim in them!!!
In 2022, I was in my homeland of Puerto Rico, and there was a news coverage that a meteoroid swept over the north side of the island. The next day I was fishing I was walking through the sand. When does dark stone stood out from all others the rock is about 3 inches And it cracked and it has a thin crust shiny looks a little brownish reddish, but a lot of characteristic like a meteoroid. I also found smaller pieces around that area, but could not find anything else unless it fell in the water on the ocean side but I really wanted to know, if you could test my meteorites or where could I go for testing? I live in Boston Massachusetts many people tell me to go to the Museum of science, but I am not sure what can I do to verify that this is a legitimate meteoroid.? 0:39
Every museum should host BrainScoop for an episode
Hi guys where is the Clinic Located? Im in Toronto i have meny samples from Morocco for studies so how can i contact u?
Loved this video so much!
I greatly appreciate the Captain Hammer shirt. Also, this was a super interesting talk!
If you catch a meteoroid in space and bring it down to earth inside your spaceship is it still a meteoroid?
It is but once your space ship lands on earth the meteoroid technically touched the ground. So if you want a meteoroid you will need a sort of levitation technology to ensure that it never touched anything that is connected to the ground
@@veggiejuice3004 I suppose you could argue that it turns to meteorite once it is intercepted by any "earthly object." If you put it in a jar and release it in a different orbit it becomes an artificial satellite. If you cover it in peanut butter it certainly must not be an asteroid anymore.
😂
Meteorite stone. I need Buyer for now..pls help me
Can a meteorite be partly magnetic? most of the rock I have IS magnetic but there is a small part of it that isnt?
How do I contact my local University to get my rocks off to becoming the Fortune and Glory they are?
Hi Sunshine, I'm not just a med. wrong I'm a big wrong too. May peace an prosperity be with you always!
Where can I get my meteorite analized?
I bought 5 meteorites for christmas. I think it is the coolest thing to own.
thnks for the information
Please I have some stones I need help to find out if it is a value I found in the desert
I will send you pictures
And then there's a handful of rocks that can be described as both a meteoRIGHT and a meteoWRONG.
As a kid (roughly three decades ago... I'm old) I bought what I was told was a meteorite. After watching your video, I located it and looked.
Admittedly, your video said that it didn't cover all of the types of meteorites, but mine didn't seem to fit many of your descriptions of what it should be.
But surprisingly, I still had the certificate of authenticity. And in that certificate, my rock is specifically described as a tektite.
While some scientists once (still?) believed that tektites are pieces of meteorites (and that belief was more prevalent in the 80s when I bought this, and my certificate does say it is the type of meteorite called a tektite), the general consensus now seems to be that tektites are terrestrial, but were formed when a meteorite hit the Earth, and the heat and pressure from the impact fused/melted the nearby terrestrial material into tektites.
So not as cool as a rock from space, but a rock made from the impact from a rock from space is still cool. So until someone proves I don't actually have a tektite and that I completely wasted my money as a kid, I consider it both a meteoRIGHT and a meteoWRONG, because it wouldn't have existed without a meteorite impact even if it isn't a meteorite itself.
In any case, I probably wouldn't have researched my rock as much as I did if I hadn't watched this video.
Jason Corfman it’s not a meteorite then. Tektite is a type of glass that is created by soil/sand that forms into a glass from the high intense heat caused by a meteorite/asteroid strike on earth. So no there are none that can be considered a meteorite and a meteor-wrong. A tektite is not a rock or a meteorite.
How much does it costs? By chance if i get that rocks and if i have to sell it than how much should i have to ask...?
Do meteorites have markets for sale and which country buys meteorites
"I would rather believe that two Yankee professors would lie than believe that stones fall from heaven."
I won't say the university, but I took it and had six geologist look at it. They were stumped didn't know what it was. My next stop is going to UCLA. Let's see what they have to say about my rock specimen if it's a meteorite. It meets all the criteria. But no one can tell me. Not even the experts. This is a true story.
