| Title | Iron-nickel meteorite from Hallock, Minnesota |
|---|---|
| Description | This specimen has been in the University of North Dakota mineralogy collection for almost 50 years. It was identified as a meteorite when first collected. And, it has some attributes of meteorites. However, this specimen contains many vugs, and meteorites do not commonly contain vugs. Consequently, some meteorite experts suggest that this is a piece of (anthropogenic) slag. The sample is 6 cm across. |
