Hey Topher! My first time checking out your channel. I really like what your doing, well done bud. Oh, and yeah, that's a piece of slag, saw it right off!

Thanks so much for stopping by and the positive feedback. Tomorrow we are doing a 6 hour long sale with over a million dollars of Mark Lyon's inventory. It should be a fun fly-on-the-wall event.

Love this series👍👍

Super glad to hear that. Of all the hundreds of people that contact me every week asking for me to look at their sample I'm surprised when they don't even have $25 worth of faith in their own sample. If all video submissions from my Patreon members are of this quality it will continue to be a fantastic series.

This type of discussion and interaction between the Crew and members is very interesting.

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

Super glad to hear that. The next video I'm releasing has more conversation in it as well.

I've got one very similar, however mine is slightly magnetic. I found it way off the beaten path in Utah and sent many pictures to the Geological Science Dept at San Diego State University... they responded with the limited data... "more likely than not, late 1800 slag." There wasn't any sign of a prior mining operation or smith-works out in the open desert but a passing military encampment could've been the culprit.

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

Very interesting feedback. Thank you very much. I am going to actually research different types of slag through the ages and see if it helps me in our identification process.

Yeah, I would also very much say it's not a meteorite. On top of what was already mentioned by the crew, I'll add a few more observations that were not mentioned. Pitting on the surface is of the wrong scale for a meteorite. In meteorites you can have a 1mm-0.5mm round surface features (protrusions and pits) on a weathered chondrites which this is obviously not. You can have burst fusion crust bubbles on the sub 1mm scale, nowhere near this large so I would not say that there is no evidence of vesicles in the form of melted and burst bubbles at the surface (compatible with it being some kind of a terrestrial melt but not meteoritic melt). Also there is a rounded inclusion on the "flip side" that seems to have clearly layered, concentric structure that would be completely incompatible with it being a meteorite. But, great video nonetheless! I wish all the ID requests were make with this much care and effort.

Great additional information. Thank you so much Domyon.

Thanks for an interesting video Topher! Does anyone think this might be a boomerang meteorite??

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

No, the crew I believe successfully identified this item as a splash form industrial waste slag/flux.

@alexparent9070 2 месяца назад

To me,it's a kind of multi- metamorphic rock that been formed by dynamite

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

Cannot say I have ever seen what you're talking about "created with dynamite" .

@mawarmerah2343 2 месяца назад

i have iron meteorite, can you help me to identification ?

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

We would be happy to help. Out of the thousands that reach out to us only very very few people think their sample is worth a $25 membership fee it takes. www.patreon.com/topherspin

Hi Topher, there is incontrovertible proof that this rock is natural and not man-made. Sorry this was not communicated to the crew earlier. Now that the abundant melted features cannot be explained as man-made, what else do you think it can be?

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

I'm sorry that you're not satisfied with the group opinion of our Crew.

@alexparent9070 2 месяца назад

Most of my meteorwrongs are dynamitage results!!

@TopherspinMeteorites 2 месяца назад

That's one way. Also, don't discount the amount of slag that was used around railroad tracks that no longer exist.

There is a way to use RU-vid to translate into about 25 different languages. I'm sure Greek is one of them. You would have to change this setting once you start playing the video.
