If this rock has been sitting at the bottom of a reservoir for half a century as claimed, what effects would that have on isotope tests.

Bottom line: There is at present no evidence other than the recovery story to suggest that this is a meteorite. Mineralogy, chemistry, oxygen isotopes, and noble gases all favor a terrestrial origin. jeff Dr. Jeffrey N.
