Bernhard, =20

Pretty doubtful. The key feature you will see on all fulgurites is a =
definite glass lining. The external surface is commonly variably fused =
sand. Your specimen looks like limonite/goethite (check the streak). =
If it's FeOx and lacks a glassy core, it's not a fulgurite.

  Subject: [meteorite-list] Now: Is this really a fulgurite (Picture =
link)

  Greetings,

  =20

  After having had mail contact with some list members on the question =
of the fulgurite (and having received some pictures), I am not so sure =
that what there is is really a flugurite. It looks so - different. =
Please have a look at this picture:

  =20

  http://www.rendelius.com/fulgu.jpg

  =20

  and tell me what you think. What I can tell you to help you with your =
expertise: If you touch this object, it feels "sandy" for sure, and it =
leaves tiny grains of sand (very few) on your fingers. The color on the =
photo is very accurate. Again: size of the object is: 9cm in length, =
2.5cm inner diameter.

  =20

  I am really curious about your opinions.

  =20

  Best regards,

  Bernhard Rems
