Hello everyone!
The last few years have been pivital for the discovery of micrometeorites in urban sediment. Jon Larsen of Norway has written books about these little meteorites, and has successfully found over 1,000 thus making it possible to identify them more readily by visual analysis under a scanning electron microscope. After months of searching I found my first one, it was compared visually and chemically to the SPWW micrometeorites found at Antarctica and is indeed 100% a piece of space dust, albeit the most common type (barred olivine). The stone is .1 mm in diameter. Thanks for reading.
