I came into my engineering class this morning and our teacher showed us this strange material. He got the material from a student who recently went hiking. According to the student, he and his father went into the woods and started a fire in an old metal tire rim. They threw a bunch of old papers and folders on the fire to get it going. When the fire went out, they took a high pressure hose and sprayed the ash away to burn more papers. At the bottom of the ashes they found the mystery material. They had no idea what it was and brought a piece to my teacher to see if he knew what it was. He had no idea.
The material is green in color but transparent like glass. Its brittle but has the feeling of plastic. We heated it up to around 1,770 degrees F but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any idea what we have here?
