For many, the ultimate find is a meteorite.
I see frequent posts in a variety of places of people sharing photos of a “meteorite” that they found. Others often let them know that their find is probably not a meteorite.
Curiosity Mars rover captured this image of an iron-nickel meteorite nicknamed "Cacao" on Jan, 28, 2023, the 3,725th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This meteorite, discovered in the "sulfate-bearing unit," a region on Mars' Mount Sharp, is estimated to be about 1 foot (30 centimeters) across. It's one of several meteorites Curiosity has seen while exploring Mars. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS (PH)
If I would have come across this on Earth, meteorite would not have been my guess.
What do you think?
