The workers were digging on the other side of my house and discovered another concentration of fragments. Again, a few were partially glazed (it looks like the fusion crust mention in the link you provided) on one side, including one with ripples. We have recovered over 100 so far, some have the rust coloring shown in the photos on the link.

If you still think it's a meteorite, you might want to take to a local college geology department.Steven Schimmrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055292815320443096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644183700798263875.post-48696288324788218662014-06-25T10:56:43.081-04:002014-06-25T10:56:43.081-04:00I live in Maryland and several years ago had a lar...I live in Maryland and several years ago had a large load of Hudson River valley rock delivered for landscaping my yard. While cleaning debris out of the rocks this spring, I found several chunks of what I think is a meteorite. This week, I had some contractors burying a drainage pipe, requiring the removal of some of the river stone. I found a large chunk (roughly 350 grams), which has glazing on one side while they were doing this (it was near where I found the other chunks, just a bit deeper). This and one other chunk has glazing on one side, which I assume was the side heated upon entry into the atmosphere. Does anyone know of any other meteorite pieces found in this area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
