Thats awesome news Darryl, my sincere congrats.
?
As Matthias already pointed out, if this iron was not from space, where else
could a mass so enigmatic and so utterly different in appearance come from? I
appreciate the fact that its extraterrestrial origin has been confirmed now.
Given the difficulties of determining the meteoritic origin, one is tempted to
expect further surprises along with the proceeding chemical and metallurgical
analysis.
?
As to the meteorite's particular morphology: I personally like the idea that in
the warm shallow waters of the Indopacific the erosive forces of nature are
working in unison with the local principles of artistry and style.
