The London Artifact is an iron hammer, surrounded by a solid mass of cretaceous rock. The handle was partally PETRIFIED. It was discovered in London, Texas. Notice the shiny spot on the metal part. The family who found the hammer filed the metal to see if it was really metal; the spot has not rusted yet, even thogh it's been about forty-five years. Is it really iron? A test was done on the metal. This Hammer contains 96% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and 0.74% sulfur. There are no bubbles in it at all. Yes, it's iron. The quality of which equals or exceeds the quality of iron today.This was written by Chantel Lines 6th grade.
