Abstract
Since the 100 anniversary of the fall of an iron meteorite in the Soča Valley (meteorite Avče, fell in 1908) the interest in meteorites has increased substantialy in Slovenia. The number of presumed meteorite finds increased accordingly. Among the numerous swaps, different slag and iron minerals prevail. This paper presents a new material which can be mistanken for iron meteorite, a ferromanganese alloy, which was found in the vicinity of Kropa. The vast majority of morphological characteristics and some physical properties of this alloy are very similar to iron nickel meteorite.

This paper presents a new material which can be mistanken for iron meteorite, a ferromanganese alloy, which was found in the vicinity of Kropa
Predvsem pa najdbe, pravih meteoritov sorazmerno redki, so med najdbami domnevnih meteoritov tudi {tevilni minerali in artefakti, ki po videzu morda spominjajo na meteorite in so zato pri najditelju vzbudili dolo~eno pozornost (Jer{ek, 2008)
Summary
Kos domnevnega meteorita je najditelj na{el na cesti 2. etaže v kamnolomu Brezovica v Pe~eh pri Kropi na Gorenjskem. Kos domnevnega meteorita je najditelj na{el na cesti 2. Etaže v kamnolomu Brezovica v Pe~eh pri Kropi na Gorenjskem. Celoten vzorec smo stehtali s precizno tehtnico Sartorius L420P, izmerili gostoto na osnovi mase izpodrinjene vode in ga pregledali makroskopsko, pri ~emer smo združili opazovanja s prostim o~esom ter pregled vzorca z lupo 10 x pove~ave, magnetom in kompasom. S kvantitativno rentgensko fluorescen~no analizo (EDS XRFA, z analizatorjem model PEDUZO 01/ Am/Sip-250) smo dolo~ili tudi kemijsko sestavo vzorca. Analize smo opravili v laboratoriju Na rodnega muzeja Slovenije. Neobi~ajno težek kos domnevnega meteorita je na{el zbiratelj Sandi Stopar in vzorec predal v raziskave Prirodoslovnemu muzeju Slovenije. Dimenzije primerka so 9 x 7 x 7 cm in masa 1608,78 g
