ref: 1994, O[ran] Richard Norton, Rocks from Space: Meteorites and Meteorite Hunters, Missoula, Mont.: Mountain Press Publishing Company, →ISBN, page 141:
text: Another product of ablation that occurs during a meteoroid's brief atmospheric passage is the development of surface pits or regmaglypts on stones and irons alike. The common name for these is "thumb prints," since they are about the size of the human thumb. Regmaglypts in stones tend to be shallower than in irons, and are therefore not as well defined.
