Norm,
I think that if they were to scratch it hard with a nail, it would go in
pretty deep and be very shiny.

Mike

Thanks for the better picture Adam. From the random
abrasions and percussion pits, it looks like a
fragment from some heavy equipment part that self
destructed, then got run over for a few months on a
hard surface. How it came to fall out of the sky is a
mystery though. Maybe it got stuck in the tire tread
of an airplane---

Cheers/Happy new orbit to all
Norm
