This father living in Florida used part of a meteorite to pull his 6-year-old son's tooth out - but it didn't go to plan.

David Frei tied string around part of a meteorite he purchased online and around Ethan's wobbly tooth.

He then attempted to pull the tooth out by throwing the rock onto a bed.

The father said: "We have a long tradition of creative tooth pulls in our family. This one did not go off quite as planned. I took my most prized archaeological piece of property, a massive meteorite, and decided to pull the tooth in perhaps the most creative manner possible.

"The problem was, it just didn’t work! We still had a good laugh."

The rock is part of a Campo del Cielo meteorite, a group that was found in Argentina.

We have a long tradition of creative tooth pulls in our family. This one did not go off quite as planned.

The meteorite comes from Campo del Cielo. I bought it off the Internet over a decade ago. Sons name is Ethan, six years old.
