A US professor has established a rock used as a doorstop is actually a meteorite worth thousands of dollars.
Mona Sirbescu from Central Michigan University was asked by a local man to inspect the object he had kept for 30 years after finding it on a farm.
The 22lb (10kg) meteorite was the biggest the geologist had been asked to examine in her career.
The rock, which came down on farmland in Edmore, Michigan, in the 1930s, could be worth $100,000 (£77,000).

Lucky doorstop.
