RE: 4.5 billion year old rock at Greenwich Royal Observatory

in #photography7 years ago

I was there a few weeks ago @molometer although we didn't get a chance to go into the museum.

I'm always amazed that someone is able to identify rock that is a meteor when it is just lying around with others.

I've often wondered how many I've come across, or ancient tools, and just walked by. 😁

They are all around us all the time. We just have to know what to look for.
Meteorites are usually very dark in colour and heavy.
You can often spot them on a sandy beach and your part of the world is stuffed full with fossils. :)
