Backside, it has patches of rust on the black surface.

looks like poop

oh lawdy is dat sum fried steek?

That looks like regular, polished rabbit poop.

i'd believe you if you told me it was. then again i'd probably believe you if you said it was petrified shit.

maybe you have a science professor/teacher you can take it to and ask?

hope it's worth a shitton OP, gl

looks liek a half eaten muffin

definitely a meteorite. looks to be from the turd belt of uranus.

It sticks to a magnet and weighs 6.7 grams.

>It sticks to a magnet
Was just about to ask that.
I would say that you have a piece of meteorite there.

I would say it is. There's not to many rocks you can find just laying around on Earth that you can stick magnets to without first refining them. Also, in the picture you provided, it's main surface is smoothed and it's backside is either rough or broke off exposing the insides. Either way, the smoothing is what would happen when parts of the rock burn/melt off.

Thanks buddy.

which country? it could be a artillery shell fragment from wwii

Looks like I can see chrondules on the inside of it aswell, although it's hard to tell with all that rust. I would say meteorite.

>>2775782
Found it at a dry lake in southern Nevada, United States.

>it could be an artillery shell fragment from wwii
or wwi, or pretty much any war in the last few hundred years. op will have to do some local history to find out. however, i think most firearms projectiles are based on cheaper metals, like lead. so if it's mostly iron i'd lean towards meteorite.

don't be a dick, call the nearest museum or university and ask them if they wan't to test it
they'll take a little bit then just weigh it and measure it
you'll get it back

sharapnel or meteorite. you are lucky to find something like that, anon.

>mfw its a piece of a flying saucer
>mfw i want my drive core back

Meteorite, yes.

Question:

I've a family member with a large, black oval stone. It's about 11" long, egg-shaped, roughly 18" circumference. 18lb Non-metallic (No interaction with magnets), nearly indestructible, or so it would seem.

I personally took a sledge-hammer to it, no dings or scratches, just a few marks and dings on the sledge's head.

There are no faults, cracks or odd mineral looking imperfections along it's surface.

It was found in a coal-mine 60 years or so ago.

What the fuck is it?

this guy is a fraud his name is evan and he is selling fake meteorites because he's a greedy jew.

>>2775864
No idea, but just because it doesn't stick to a magnet doesn't mean it's not metal.

>>2775864
You'd probably have to take it to a real expert to determine. Some meteorites are easy to identify, like OPs, but if the one you talk about is a meteorite, then it's alot rarer and therefore harder for us to identify.

>>2775864

Take it to a motherfucking museum and have that shit analyised, kneegrow.

>>2775864
It's blackrock. Go make yourself an Orb of the Moons.

>>2775637

It's poo.

>>2775864
Do you have any pictures of this wonder-rock?

>>2775864
Can you scratch it with a piece of quartz?

>>2775912

No, I was unable to damage it at all, tried a carbide drill bit, too.

It'll be a few years before I can get to it again, have to wait for the owner to die. (Family drama)

If you live close to where you found it, it'd probably be worth your time to go look around some more.

>>2775945
I plan on going back there later, me and my buddy actually found 2 of them there. His is shaped the same with the black crust and red insides, except his is only 5 grams.

A good piece of iron ore can be pretty difficult to tell apart from an actual meteorite.

Totally made my day.
