Meteorite, Meteroid, Meteor....??? What is the difference?
Tisha Swink-Seider posted a topic in Geology
What IS the difference and are there any specific elements left in the ground when these hit to let a person know one hit there? -
I have this huge round rock that's almost the size of a beach ball and weighs approximately 150-175 pounds. Can anyone tell me what the heck it is?

Hello Everyone.. New Member From San Bernardino CA
HideousCorrectness posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hello! My name is Elaine Scott. I am a new member to the forum. Exploring the mountains in the high desert and rock/fossil hunting is a hobby of mine. I have a small collection of interesting items. Some of which I will ask for help identifying, I look forward to feedback! I see there's soo much content to explore on this site I'm pretty sure I'll spend the next several hours (and many more in days to come) scrolling through it all. I hope everyone has a great day! -
Hello guys! Me and my friend found these while hanging out. The location is Bulgaria, Europe, a village in the eastern part. They were among the rocks on the road. They look a bit irony. We have a few of them and all are different sizes. I am attaching photos of two of them. Do you know what these might be?

Hello! I inherited this piece with the idea that it could possibly be a space rock. I checked the magnetism and it has no magnetic properties whatsoever. After closer examination with an open mind and a little imagination, I see a petrified baby dinosaur laid on its side with its neck possibly broken at the base of the skull. Below what looks like the neck is a split section that looks like a chest cavity with a arm/leg on either side. . The strangest part is that there seems to be the head of another species resting on the side of the laid down fossil. I see the right eye socket at the top of the head and the raised ridges on top of the skull back to the decapitation point. (It almost looks like it could be a tiny horse laid on its side, but it looks like little fingers on the end of what looks like the front leg)

Raptor skulls? Permineralization? From meteor impact? Heavy as heck?

Film on the meteor-strike that killed the dinosaurs
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi everyone, Last year we visited a dinosaur show (I believe something like "DinoExpo") in our area in the Alsace (France), where they screened a film about the meteor-strike that killed the dinosaurs. It was spoken in French (though could of course have been voiced-over) and I hadn't seen it before. However, my wife, who normally isn't overly interested in anything dinosaur liked it a lot, to the extent of asking me afterwards whether I could find it so she could finish watching it. As I don't know where to start on it, I thought I'd ask here... So, the documentary's most defining features I remember: 1. It's a 3D animation 2. The topic is the timeline of the impact of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs 3. This timeline is used to explain events that occurred around the world immediately prior and immediately following the impact on an hour by hour pace 4. There seemed to be a greater emphasis on Mongolian dinosaurs than most documentaries I've seen Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! -

Found in a dry creek-bed in Gene Autry in Carter county Oklahoma. Washita Valley just south of the Arbuckle Mountains. I think it is a meteor of some sort but not sure and would like help identifying this item please if anyone knows or could help. The top of it was laying next to the larger piece all in pristine shape and fits like a glove. There appears to be rust on it and it is a reddish color. The inside is hard and heavier. It makes my HD camera go weird with the color. Not sure why that happens. The settings are correct. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kgA3OgAJsk&context=C4cc8ccfADvjVQa1PpcFM1OO2npywKDvmoX3t0Ix3KKL_Qr6keY1g=
