3 years, 2 months ago3 years, 2 months agoWhat is it? Different color and heavier than other fossils or rocks in area. Does not contain any metal; thought it might be a meteorite. #whatisit
its a meteorit but its in the rock lucky
meteorites are usually magnetic, so it probably isn’t.
The quarter isn’t sticking to it so…
but there are rock meteorit dat isn’t magnetic
@a-trilobite no, not what l meant. what l meant is that they contain metal, so they can stick to magnets. but they aren’t magnets themselves. but l used the wrong word, so my fault.
Well nevermind then
There is a fantastic website about meteorites and what to look for in meteorites from Washington University in St. Louis: https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/what_to_do/ It’s also got some pretty amusing stories about meteorite realities.
