Title: How would you confirm a basaltic meteorite?
Post by: Iwonda on 02/02/2020 05:12:04

From what I have read basaltic meteorite are extremely rare and difficult to confirm. They can look just like a typical basaltic stone found here on earth. Most have little to no metal at all so a metal detector and the magnet test is of very little use. There does not appear to be many visual markers that can be used so what method could one use to confirm/verify a basaltic meteorite?
