It's not magnetic.

Isn't it illegal to take stuff from state parks? Reported to the FBI.

>>9735988
Nobody said anything when I took it.

>>9735989
That doesn't mean it's legal. What kind of shit show you trying to run here?

>>9735990
I'm just wanting to know what rock I took when I was 11 years old.

Looks like a fragment of OP's skull.

>>9735988
>FBI ? Yes a anonymous person on the internet took a rock 17 years ago.

>>9736003
Do you want it? It's quite... dense.

>>9735975
Definetly not a piece of meteorite.

>>9736037
Google isn't helping me

>>9735975
Looks like a dirty piece of iron ore

>>9736051
You're not using it right. I'm actually not going to hold your hand through this, but I will give you a place to start. First, find out what kind of rock it is. Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic etc. Next find out what types of rocks are commonly found in canyon state park. Cross reference until you find the correct answer. It's really not a whole lot of work.

Is there a spider living in that hollow above the quarter?

>>9736148
No

>>9735975
It's relatively hard. It looks like it would hurt to punch it.

>>9735975
That looks like haematite to me, bud.

Sounds like an ileagal mining operation to me

>>9735975
That is definitely not a meteorite

Looks more like a mafic intrusive rock, very iron and metal rich. Tabular massive structure as well, but it's hard to identify minerals from pictures alone. I'm a sed-head so hopefully some filthy igneous or metamorphic petrographer will come along to properly identify it.

Looks like hematite, reacts to a magnet like hematite, it's gotta be hematite.

>>9736595
It doesn't react to magnets.

>>9735975
Gonna call that for hematite as well, maybe with goethite too?

If I can remember it, accurately, the park guide told my group the rocks on the ground were from a meteorite. There were hundreds of them on the ground, going down into the canyon, and I chose to take one of the larger rocks for closer inspection. When I put a magnet to it and nothing happened, my confidence in it actually being a piece of a meteorite fell.
I was a physical science enthusiast when I was younger; I recently remembered being so interested in how the earth and its phenomena worked, I ended up remembering this rock I've kept in a box for years.

Might be a kidney stone tbqh. I've seen some big ones b4

>>9735975
its probably some low radiation uranium isotope. its wierd how common this isotope is. the yellow/brownish oxidation layer is very typical for this. you may be able to scratch it off and so some tests. although its very low radioactive decay, id not keep it close to my bed, OP. its also illegal in some states to own these. where are you from?

>>9736740
I know this canyon formed in the 1800s, due to poor soil management, but you're saying a dinosaur passed one of these?

>>9736751
No no, a kidney stone. Like pic related

You see, sometimes people have to pass them like pic related. The penis does what we call 'flowering' (opens up), and much like giving birth a lot of pain is involved. That might be a kidney stone in OP

>>9736761
i think im gonna puke

>>9736761
This rock is larger than a fucking human kidney.

>>9735993
Nice work Judas, just throw your parents under the bus. I hope you have the stones to look them in the eye in the courtroom.

So? Sometimes we eat pizzas that are larger than our stomachs, you've heard the phrase.

>>9736818
Pizzas don't have the same volume as stomachs and if you're referring to the entire pie, then you're a fatass.

>>9736837
>Pizzas don't have the same volume as stomachs
No, they are quite larger in fact. That's why when we eat a lot of food, we have to either poop it out immediately (then we are just pooping out undigested pizza, which can hurt quite a bit), or what is more often the case, our body throws up the food.
