    I thought I would post up a few items that came my way recently, specifically 2 meteorites and 1 fossil. That sounds just like a dirty internet video :)

    This one is from Argentina, it is smooth and has a liquid appearance, and depending on the light can look either black or metallic. It has iron content.

    The second meteorite is iron based and melted from the heat. It was found in 1576 in Argentina, it formed part of the Campo Del Cielo meteor find:

    It is lumpy and heavy and looks melted.

    The last item is an Armigatus fossil from the Cretaceous period and was discovered in Lebanon.

    I would be interested in any further info should anyone have any to share.
