Photos people have sent me of things that look like meteorites, 2
I have examined thousands of photos that people have sent me over the past 20+ years. Probably for less than 1 in 1000 photos have I thought, “Yes, that might be a meteorite.” Meteorites can not be identified from photos with 100% accuracy, but all of photos below are of things I believe to be meteorites with 50-99% confidence. More than half these photos were sent by persons who found the rocks in deserts of Northern Africa or the Mideast. Only 3 or 4 were from people who claimed to have found them in North America. Several are from people who either bought them or inherited someone else’s collection.
See this page for the reasons why I think these rocks are meteorites.
