Скачать или смотреть Testing Suspect Meteorites MeteorWRONGs Rocks Irons with XRF XRD ☄️Meteorite 101

Are you a rockhounder hoping to identify a potential meteorite with XRF or XRD testing? Before you take your find to a pawn shop or jewelry store, watch this video! Join Topher Spinnato of Topherspin Meteorites and Knowledge Bolide Crew Member Mike Kelly as they break down the ins and outs of XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) testing. Learn why these tools can be helpful for eliminating earth rocks as meteorites—but not for proving one is a meteorite.

This video, recorded during the Knowledge Bolide Weekly Online Hangout, tackles common misconceptions about XRF testing. We explore why tests performed at places like pawn shops, scrap metal yards, or jewelry stores often provide incorrect or misleading results—because these devices are typically set to assess metals, not rocks! Plus, we explain the differences between XRF and XRD, including how their capabilities and limitations affect the data you’re analyzing.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a curious enthusiast, you’ll gain valuable insights into:

The key differences between XRF and XRD testing.
Why most XRF tests shouldn’t be used to confirm a meteorite.
The importance of consulting experts or universities for accurate testing.
What you should (and shouldn’t) look for in XRF test results.

With practical advice and easy-to-understand explanations, this video will help you avoid common pitfalls, better understand test results, and make more informed decisions in your hunt for meteorites. If you’re serious about identifying cosmic treasures, this is a must-watch!
