I found this in the beach.
Could it be a meteorite?
It seems to be metal but it is shape like weird rock.
I remember seeing a meteorite collection and it looks like those, but dirty.

I think you could safely claim it as a meteor to impress chicks. Which is why we all got into science in the first place, right?

I used to find tons of those center ones around here all the time. They just seemed like chunks of iron, but looked exactly like that.
