Anyone know of a collage or ? that still classifies meteorites?
Since meteorite men I can't find anyone reliable to do it.
Thanks wayne
 
Not sure but the School of Mines in SD would be where I'd start...or put up a pic here on the 'Help ID' Forum...theres a lot of rockhounds here...
 
Sure would like to see a pic and some info you have on it ! Always interested in new finds , ,,,,,HH
 
I'm not saying that you don't have a meteorite, but from what I read about people thinking they have one and how rare they are don't get your hopes up too soon.

I found several "heavier than normal" rocks in my yard that looked liked they could be meteorites, even a magnet was attracted to it, but after emailing pictures to several places that study meteorites no one sent any positive replies, they basically said they didn't think so.

Here are a few web sites that can be of help, and I really do hope you do have a real meteorite though, that would be neat !

Here are photos of some of the rocks that I have that I thought might be meteorites -

My brother and I have taken rocks that we thought might something to 6 different people, and nobody agreed on what to call them. So we had 6 opinions of what they were.
