Part 6/11:
Some structures resemble carbon rods, possibly made of glassy carbon—an amorphous form of carbon often used in high-strength or high-temperature applications. Notably, these carbonaceous structures contain no traces of ridium, a rarity that hints at human or extraterrestrial fabrication.
The Dangers of Contamination and Sample Integrity
Throughout the examination, the team was cautious about contamination—distinguishing genuine extraterrestrial features from artifacts introduced by handling or sample processing. Some fragments were identified as cut pieces, likely from machining or retrieval procedures, adding complexity to the interpretation.
