I'm with you Bjorn on the ~54kg estimate, roughly a $100 pounder. Now check the photo http://images.bt.no/btno/multimedia/dynamic/00668/Stein2_jpg_668121b.jpg He is holding it arms slightly bent and smiling for the camera. Nope, he'd by dying.

I would point out some things that points to the pictured norwegian stone is _not_ a meteorite: - It looks striped and layered. This is a typical trait of the gneissic stones on the western part of southern Norway where this story is from. No meteorites are layered or striped. It's a consequence of plate tecthonics that doesn't exist on the small asteroids. Almost all rocks are stiped and layered in this part of Norway. - Considering the weight, probably ~54kg as it says in first article. Taking into acount the volume I very roughly estimate it to be ~35 dm3 from images. Then one would get 1.55 kg/dm3, which shows the volume is overestimated, but far from any weight that fits any iron or stony meteorite. Average local rock density would be 2.6-2.7 kg/dm3 that fits much better. - Only pitted on a smaller part of the surface. Does not fit an iron meteorite. And as it seems layered its looks fto it a local stone much better. As it was found under and when a tree overturned, it could be the humidity of the roots that made the pits. One cannot rule out it is lime in it, then possibly marble. On the other hand, seeming to have an affect on a compass, it could be a metamorphosed plutonic rock containing some iron of which type there are a lot in this area.

It's hot on several norwegian newsmedia right now. He will eat earthly 'greystone' ('gr?stein') if it's not a meteorite...;-) Will be shown on Norways 2nd largest TV-station in a few hours. Well he has a major in astronomy, and been on TV, but what does he know about stones, really? Anyway everybody in Norway believes his stories, it seems, how is this possible after all these years? (Translate from norwegianby pasting into translate.google.com) What do you make out of the story and images?
