An objet trouvé in my personal collection might be an iron meteorite. It is a very heavy, iron nodule of irregular size and shape. It has a rusty patina and many “regmaglypts” (thumbprints) which are tell-tale indicators of a genuine iron meteorite.
Beyond global warming, fiery chunks of massive celestial bodies rocketing towards earth may be our final impact and completely out of our control.
