OldSalt Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Is it magnetic? I don't know much about them, but I don't think it is. It looks more like some type of volcanic rock. Someone on here will know or will know how you can find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Looks like you deleted the photos on Photo bucket. Better use the Attatchment options on the bottom of the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfinger Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Definitely not a meteorite... It's a basalt of volcanic origin. Note the elongated vesicle on the side of the 4th picture. You don't find those on meteorites. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insurgentza Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 it is magnetic ,but not very strong, still i'm not that convinced it is volcanic origin, there where no volcanos around the place i've found it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 How about a few million years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Maybe a piece of slag...perhaps used as roadbed for a railway...??? Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleface Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 insurgentsa, There is also another possibility that what you have is Blast Furnace Slag, What Fred mentioned would fit into this catagory. Notice the reddish surface tinge on your specimen and also the surface glaze.
