Forms: form: meteorwrongs
form: meteorong
Etymology: Coined by replacing the final syllable of meteorite, which sounds like right, with wrong.
Senses: examples: text: A scarlet precipitate (C₈H₁₄N₄O₄Ni) will be present if nickel is present. A negative test for nickel means you have a "meteorwrong." A positive test may indicate you have a meteorite, but since there are many commercial nickel-iron alloys it is not a conclusive test.
ref: 1964, The Griffith Observer, volume 28, Los Angeles, Calif.: Griffith Observatory, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 40, column 1:
text: Unfortunately, the object turned out to be only a “meteorwrong”—although a deceptive one.

text: Vastly more meteorwrongs are found than meteorites. This should be no surprise. A host of Earth objects—natural and manmade—do indeed look like meteorites, and they are just waiting to be found and to confuse you.
ref: 2008, O. Richard Norton, Lawrence A. Chitwood, “A Gallery of Meteorwrongs”, in Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites, London: Springer-Verlag, →DOI, →ISBN, page 175:
text: Those who work in the field looking for meteorites keep a magnet with them at all times. This is always the first test; if the meteorite suspect is not magnetic, it is a "meteorwrong." Good collectors learn very quickly how to identify meteorwrongs since what may be represented as a very rare stone meteorite (at $200 a gram!) could turn out to be an expensive piece of junk. The classic meteorwrong is an igneous rock known as a Cumberlandite.
