Strange Stuff. The weakness of this theory is that all meteorites should show signs of having solidified from the molten state. Most of them do, but a very few (only three or four) are classified as "granular hexahedrites." They are made of iron and nickel, says La Paz, but the material is not homogenous and crystalline, as it would have to be if it had solidified from a liquid. Instead, the strange material from space is slapped together haphazardly in irregular gobs...
Last week the Ardmore meteorite was carefully analyzed. It proved to be a genuine granular hexahedrite, and there is enough of the odd stuff for all sorts of experiments, which may prove the La Paz contention: that the meteorite could never have been formed from the molten inside of a defunct planet. It may have been formed in some other way deep in interstellar space, or in another planetary system around some foreign star...
