Sometime
ago, The Merit
Herald reported an unusual find made by Prospector Arnold Dyson who used to
mine for gold in Barkerville, B.C., in Yellowknife, and in the Arctic Circle.
Mr. Dyson now frequents the Coldwater
River at Mississippi where he found a strange rock that he believes to be a
meteorite. After grabbing the rock, Mr. Dyson cut it with a diamond blade saw
to open up the wavy lines of various minerals inside.
“It stalled the diamond
blade saw three times,” he said. “When we
finally opened it up, we could see the way the lines move, like they were melted
and then forced up with impact. I think this was just a big blob-like substance
when it hit the ground.”
According
to the news
article, the rock found by Mr. Dyson follows some of the traits of typical
meteorites, according to a list of specifications laid out by the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). For instance, the surface is smooth, giving it
the appearance that it has melted as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere. The
patterns in the rock also indicate it could have been completely melted by the
atmosphere. However, many meteorites have metal specks in them and are
magnetized due to a high iron concentration, though this one is not.
