Second row from the top, middle pic looks like a clinker. I found one too, and though the same thing..

Those are not meteorites.

That first one might be. Looks a lot like a specimen my dad has. How heavy is the first one?

Could anyone tell me if this could be a Meteorite?

This is another one I found in the general area. I have not ever seen anything that even looks close to these's in my area before.

One of the best sources of meteorwrong pictures has been compiled by Washington University in St. Louis.

A Photo Gallery of Meteorwrongs

So are you telling me these's are Meteorwrongs? I am kinda confused here because on the other thread that I posted these's pic's on you told me. QUOTE:It's rare, but meteorites can indeed have holes in their internal structure. Terms used to describe these include vesicles, vugs, and vacuoles. For some pictures of meteorites with vesicles, see vesicles & amygdules.

He's saying they could be and you should compare to the site he linked. It's hard to tell with online photos. Just bring them to a local university and they'll check them out.

Hello Dr.Meh thank you very much for your post and thank you Bay Rock Man for your post as well.

Finding holes inside a meteorite is SO RARE, it is commonly agreed among the "experts" that meteorites don't have holes. The Wash U site does state that it is possible that meteorites may have holes but they go on to say that only three possible sites may have "vesicles" in their meteorites. A very large asteroid (such as VESTA) or Mars or the moon. So far, they say, no martian or lunar meteorites have ever been found that had "holes". ( I leave the door open as to holes in meteorites as I can only go by "expert" opinion, not personal knowledge ) TTC
