陨石,作为宇宙中的
天外来客,多散落于高山、森林、沙漠等人迹罕至的地方,被人发现的数量极少。正是因为数量极少,价格具体从几千元到上万元不等。 上海文物评估机构陨石项目负责人许总介绍,“这几年陨石价格行情一直在上涨,所以价格也保持在相对高位。”2010年陨石的最高价格也不过六七千元,现在上涨了30%左右。那么怎么从外观判断陨石真伪呢?下面请听小编一一道来。
Meteorites, as celestial visitors in the universe, are mostly scattered in places where mountains, forests, and deserts are inaccessible. The number of people found is very small. It is precisely because the quantity is very small that the price varies from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. "The price of meteorites has been rising over the years, so prices have remained relatively high," said Xuzong, head of the meteorite project at the Shanghai Heritage Assessment Agency. The highest price of meteorites in 2010 was only 67,000 yuan, and now it has risen by about 30 %. So how to judge the authenticity of the meteorite from the appearance? Now listen to a little editor.
一.外表熔壳:陨石在陨落地面以前要穿越稠密的
大气层,陨石在降落过程中与大气发生磨擦产生高温,使其表面发生熔融而形成一层薄薄的熔壳。因此,新降落的陨石表面都有一层黑色的熔壳,厚度约为1毫米。
1. Appearance melting shell: The meteorite passes through the dense atmosphere before falling to the ground. During the landing process, the meteorite friction with the atmosphere produces high temperatures, melting its surface and forming a thin layer of melting shell. Therefore, the newly landed meteorites have a black melting shell with a thickness of about 1 mm.
二.表面气印:另外,由于陨石与大气流之间的相互作用,陨石表面还会留下许多气印,就象手指按下的手印。
II. Surface airprints: In addition, due to the interaction between meteorites and atmospheric currents, there are many airprints on the surface of meteorites, just like the handprints pressed by the fingers.
三.内部金属:铁陨石和石铁陨石内部是有
金属铁组成,这些铁的镍含量很高(5-10%)。球粒陨石内部也有金属颗粒,在新鲜断裂面上能看到细小的金属颗粒。
III. Internal metals: Iron and stony meteorites are made of metallic iron with a high nickel content(5-10 %). There are also metal particles inside the chondrite, and tiny metal particles can be seen on the fresh fracture surface.
四.磁性:正因为大多数陨石含有铁,所以95%的陨石都能被磁铁吸住。
4. Magnetism: Because most meteorites contain iron, 95 % of them can be absorbed by magnets.
五.球粒:大部分陨石是球粒陨石(占总数的90%),这些陨石中有大量毫米大小的
硅酸盐球体,称作球粒。在球粒陨石的新鲜断裂面上能看到圆形的球粒。
