    Many people claim to have picked up meteorites, how to determine the authenticity of meteorites? The color of the molten shell is mostly black and gray-black, and there are light colors, but there are few. The molten shell is independent and formed by instantaneous high temperatures, and the molten shell usually has a contrast with the internal tone, and the texture is completely different.

    Meteorites that have lived in the area for a long time will be the first to peel off the molten crust due to changes in temperature, wind and sand, etc., and it will look like a 'bald areata'. Others are completely detached and unrecognizable. Of course, fresh molten crusts may also see melt flow lines, as well as molten condensation caused by a sudden drop in surface temperature after a crash.

    So stones that look black and smooth are not meteorites.

    The basic characteristics of meteorites are often seen on the Internet, but the identification of meteorites is not only to look at the basic characteristics, but also to identify the internal structure of meteorites, there are many external characteristics of meteorites have been lost, but the internal structure exists, some people think that meteorites are very heavy, which is the difference between earth rocks, but meteorites also have light ones, which many people do not recognize, and they do not recognize.

    Although meteorites are formed by aggregation under vacuum and pressure, the addition formed by the burning of the inner core of the asteroid during the operation of the celestial body is very light, and the material that is squeezed to the periphery of the inner core is burned material, and the inner core is rolled by metallic material, and the surface of the iron meteorite we see now is cratered, and the part of the inner core is melted and squeezed into the surrounding slag.

    The stony-iron meteorite has not evolved into an iron meteorite, that is to say, the stony-iron meteorite has not yet formed an iron meteorite, strictly speaking, the stony-iron meteorite is in the star core, and the iron meteorite is in the core, and there is a core in the star core. However, there are more chondrites in the upper mantle and non-mantle parts, and there are more chondrite meteorites in the upper mantle part, while there are more stony materials formed by pressure in the lower mantle part, and chondrite meteorites exist in this area.

    In fact, the easiest way is whether there is a molten surface, because all meteorites are celestial bodies that are attracted by the earth's gravity when they are close to the earth, and fall to the earth. Therefore, to distinguish a meteorite, it is necessary to see whether the surface is like a molten surface after steelmaking.

    I think we can judge the authenticity of a meteorite based on its color, material, hardness and appearance, but if you don't know anything about it, then you can find a professional to help us determine it.

    The earth is constantly hit by space rocks, when the space rocks fall to the earth, most of them will be burned up by the atmosphere, even if they are lucky enough to avoid the burning, most of them will disappear into the ocean, only a small part will fall to the land, even so, so far more than 40,000 meteorites have been found and numbered in the world. However, the meteorites currently found are definitely only a small part of the earth's meteorites, and there are countless meteorites still waiting for people to discover, a meteorite is worth a lot, how to correctly identify meteorites is the premise of discovering meteorites.

    1. Most meteorites basically contain metal iron and nickel, so meteorites are magnetic and can usually react with magnets, and the surface of meteorites is mostly smooth.

    2. The iron content of meteorites is relatively high, so meteorites will be denser and heavier than earth rocks of the same size, and the weight of meteorites is about three times that of ordinary rocks compared with meteorites of the same size.

    3. When the meteorite falls into the atmosphere, due to strong friction with the atmosphere, it begins to heat up and burn violently, so that the outer surface begins to melt, and a thin layer of black and brown coating will be produced on the surface, which is called molten shell. However, molten crusts are fragile and can be easily weathered, so older meteorites usually disappear as long as the molten crust disappears.

    4. There are "thumb prints" on the surface of the meteorite, when the meteorite enters the atmosphere and begins to melt and erode, due to the uneven melting, it will cause deep erosion in some areas of the meteorite, and less erosion in some areas, which looks like a mud block dug by a spoon, and also like plasticine rubbed by a child, but the meteorite is much harder than plasticine.

    5. Meteorite stripe streamline, this feature usually exists on the body of iron meteorite, the surface of the iron meteorite may oxidize with light red stripes, but this stripe is drawn on paper, usually does not leave traces, if traces are left, it is basically the earth's primary hematite and magnetite.

    The above 5 characteristics are usually the prerequisites for the identification of meteorites, and if all 5 conditions are met, there is a 95% probability that they belong to meteorites. However, there are many kinds of meteorites on the earth, and the large classification can be divided into several small categories, and the appearance characteristics of each category are obviously different, and the identification methods of meteorites of different classifications must be different, we ordinary people only need to understand the above five points, if you feel that a certain stone is like a meteorite outdoors, you may wish to take a photo to be confirmed by experts. But it is also necessary to pay special attention to the fact that meteorites are very similar in appearance to quartz stone, cinder, volcanic stone, etc., so special attention should be paid when identifying.

    You can look at the shape of this stone, the shape of this stone is very irregular, if it is particularly strange, it may be a meteorite. It is also necessary to see whether the stone has a molten shell, but also to see the density of the stone, whether the stone is magnetic, whether it will bend, and whether the surface of the stone is granular, so that you can judge whether your stone is a meteorite.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-31

    It can be judged according to whether the meteorite contains magnetism, according to the iron content of the meteorite, according to the molten shell on the surface, and according to the surface of the stone, the composition of the stone.

    Many people claim to have picked up meteorites, how can they tell if the stones they have picked up are meteorites?

    Observing the molten crust, the meteorite reached a speed of more than 11 kilometers per second in the fall, and the friction with the atmosphere generated a high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees. The surface of any matter on Earth melts in an instant. Therefore, the surface of a real meteorite does not have uplifted rock particles, and generally does not have sharp horns, most of which resemble the streamlined shape of water droplets.

    Meteorites fall at high speed and the molten crust forms molten streamlines, and no matter what form the meteorite falls, the fluidity of the melt streamlines is very strong. Any meteorite that falls in any form will have one side hit the ground first to form an impact surface. Because the surface of the meteorite is subjected to a high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius during the fall, the rock in the molten crust is gradually subjected to high temperature from the outside to the inside, and most of the impact surface will be deformed when the meteorite hits the ground.

    There are two types of meteorites. Something that fell from the moon, something that fell from the stars. Lunar meteorites are very expensive, 10,000 grams.

    The stars are not worth it, they are not worth it. The lunar meteorite is actually a black magnet with more than 20 mineral elements, iron, manganese, zinc, etc. You yourself can firmly inhale meteorites with a magnet.

    Shows that it is true. Meteorites, iron meteorites, and iron meteorites are also easy to identify. Because whether it is a planetary meteorite flying from **, he must have a shell and structure that melts the shell very high and burns it out in the process of falling.

    The easiest way is actually to trust the instrumental inspection of a professional geological department. Go to the geological department to do a little test to know, most of the things that are now regarded as meteorites ** or burned on the market have nothing to do with real meteorites, the circle of meteorite collections is very small, and their collections and grades are in a stage that ordinary people cannot understand. In addition, the trading of meteorites also varies according to the high and low levels of the meteorites and is not as strongly supported as the market.

    The value of meteorites with special materials of real meteorites is scarce, and not all meteorites are very valuable.

    Meteorites belong to extraterrestrial objects, the composition of meteorites is very different from the stones on the earth, the density of meteorites is generally denser than that of stones, and after atmospheric ablation in the process of falling to the earth, the color of meteorites is generally darker.

    The breakthrough of high-quality and high-quality meteorites will be higher, and ordinary meteorites will also break through the bottom line and continue to riseEveryone's thoughts about meteorites are different, in addition to thinking that meteorites are very mysterious, they also hope that meteorites can bring them additional income.

    If you want to identify a meteorite, you can mainly identify it in the following aspects: first, whether there is a molten shell. When the meteorite passes through the atmosphere, well, its speed is very fast, and the rapid friction with the air of the meteorite, because the surface burns, and produces a thin enamel, only for the melting shell, but different meteorites, the characteristics of his melting shell are also different, the general melting shell is dark and smooth and shiny, and some are transparent glass shapes.

    The second point is to see if there are gas marks and melt flow groovesIn the process of atmospheric combustion, due to the uneven heating in all aspects, there will be some bubbles on the meteorite, and the shape of the bubbles is like the traces of finger pressing that we produce, and more importantly, the melt flow groove is the basic feature of judging whether it is a directional meteorite, if it shows the same direction of the pattern behavior, the possibility of directional meteorite is relatively large.

    The third point is to see if there is magnetismThe magnetism we are talking about is not just tested with magnetite, and a magnet can measure the magnetism of a meteorite, but many ores on the earth can also be attracted by magnets, so many ** use this method to pass off as meteorites, and meteorites, it has its own magnetism.

    The fourth point is to see if there are pelletsMeteorites are divided into chondrites and nonchondrites, with chondrites accounting for the majority, which requires us to observe carefully with a high-magnification glass.

    The official website of Xingke is released: meteorite, identification. At present, meteorites can only be judged by physical evidence.

    Because there are no meteorite detection instruments in the world. No matter how big an instrument is, it's just the accuracy of elemental analysis. At present, it is judged that meteorites mainly rely on the various appearance images formed by high temperature and the rock structure that cannot be formed by the earth's environment, and the flow of high-temperature liquid substances cannot be formed in the earth's environment.

    Less nonsense. Iron meteorite, grinding a small corner, polishing, showing dimensional patterns, reliable. The rest of the!

    Stone meteorites, unless there is a real melt shell, weathered to a certain extent, even meteorites are thrown away! Medium iron meteorites can also be slice and pickled, and iron-nickel is distributed in a breccia state! The fire moon meteorite looks at the surface, and the surface must be melted; Looking at the composition, the Huoyue meteorite does not have sand-grained quartz, and has basaltic volcanic ash, olivine, and pyroxene, which are more common!

    In addition, the Huoyue meteorite was formed by impact and splashing, and the breccia meteorite is the majority, and it is a porphyry almond structure. The meteorite lands quite quickly, and if it has obvious impact cracks, the breccia inside is fractured and ruptured, which is also a strong evidence for the identification of meteorites!
