to 5.0 and is undoubtedly of plutonic (subterranean) origin. Atmospheri oxidation
and sulphurization have caused the creation of a variety of colors, which is. however,
typical of weathering and exposure. It will be noticed that the surface fresh
fracture do display these effects.
3. All true meteorites show the effects of aerodymamic heating in reaching the
earth's surface to a less severe extent, resulting in pitting and surface
fusion. This specimen bears none of these evidences. On the contrary, it does bear
striation marks and su rface smcothing due to water action indicative of glacial
effects.

14 It is our conclusion that this specimen is of torrestrial origin,
probably brought into the area of final location by slaciers from as far away
as the Grenville Geologic Province in Cntario, Canada, where such material is
relatively abundant.
5. It is therefore felt that the troub expense of a laboratory
examination is not warranted.
