harfordmike Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I found this object it is magnetic and heavy for its size. I filed a small section and it looks like metal. I was wondering if any one has any thoughts.Thanks Mike Edited June 20, 2015 by harfordmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoJack Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) From my untrained eye, no. Looks terrestrial, earth rock.http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/rock_key.htm#schist Edited June 20, 2015 by GeoJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 if it is all metal, the only certain test is at a lab...it is most likely a piece of iron from some farm or industrial equipment...the location would provide some clue.fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikestang Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Exterior is wrong for an iron meteorite, probably slag. Worth an assay test, though, just to be sure. Or have someone shoot it with an XRF gun, that's a bit simpler. Edited June 22, 2015 by Mikestang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
