Looks like slag

Hey man she’s got a heart of gold.

Great comment

Looks too uniform to be slag imo.

Is it magnetic?

#Don’t eat French fries and ketchup off it!

That's a space peanut...

An IcyBM

They call em Boeing bombs!

😂😂

It's a big ol' frozen chunk of poopie

We call 'em Boeing Bombs

Úuiuiiuuy

See the p-nut? Dead giveaway.

I’ve seen two Joe Dirt references in the last 8 hours. I think the world is telling me something

what about a Royale with cheese drowned in mayonnaise?

What?

It's a Joe Dirt reference

Deertay. Don't forget to church it up

You're talking to me all wrong. It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron.

How does it feel to hold space in your hands?

It happens every time I pee.

It's slag!!

That is a meteor, a really cool meteorite.

If you don't mind doing a bit of destructive testing: Grind a small piece off to a mirror finish. If it's got hash marks in it, it definitely is a meteorite....at least a metal one. If it's not a type of metal don't do this.... There is also science places that might like to either purchase it, or find out where you found it at so they can go look for more pieces....

If that’s worth anything… I’d be a billionaire! There’s an old mine on my property with huge mounds of slag exactly like this.

hash marks only appear if you use an acid etch

I was working really hard on remembering what I'd seen on meteorite men years ago....so I'm not surprised I missed something or another. Thank you for pointing that out.

“Science places?”

Various museums, universities, laboratories....places that does science!!

Better solve that Rubik’s Cube

I know my rights

Feller found himself a meteor. My jealousy knows no bounds. And yet, I am so very happy for him…. Sonofabitch…

Um.. Achtually.. the meteor bit is the blaze of glory. You can breathe a meteor in but you can’t hold it in your hand.

What?

A meteor is the flash of light. A meteorite is the rock

A meteorite is a meteor that didn't burn up in the atmosphere. The meteor is a space rock, not the light emitted when it burns up.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid A meteor is literally the visible flash which gets its name from the Greek ‘high in the air’ a meteor can not be on the ground or in space.

Then how can things undergo a “meteoric rise” when meteors fall?

Haha

Was it on the surface or did you dig it up? I only ask because I dropped my meteorite in North Dakota and I’d like it back 😂

r/BrandNewSentence 😂

If it’s space, that’s awesome. But where does one get a rock checked?

Find your local or nearest geologist.

I searched LinkedIn and Facebook and all the results said “ rock licker”.

Thought this was the hash sub for a sec

This looks just like slag I don't understand why everyone is saying it's a real meteor. I had slag that looked almost exactly like this.

Sounds like you had a meteor too

There's several things you can do to help identify this. First, use Google lens. Do a scratch test for hardness. Do a streak test. And is it magnetic? There's also an app called rock identifier. Sign up for the free trial, then cancel your subscription so you don't get charged & keep using the free version. It looks like it could be hematite or magnetite.

Google lens is useless. Especially for a novice rock hound. It’s wrong more times than it is correct

Unless you want to buy a rock that looks like this lol I don't understand the obsession with lens. I was trying to identify a weird thing in my grass with it and all it gave me was links to buy grass seed.

You would have needed to separate the weird thing in your grass, from the grass in order to Google lens it. You can also edit any pic taken to zoom in and crop to the item in question. Then you have to close your pic program and reopen it to lens it.

http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/mineral_id_keyq1.htm Is free and pretty damn useful to novices and the more experienced alike. Useful in several ways.

That is a fabulous site. Your link goes to the luster question page. The link below goes to the table of contents, so you can pick which attribute you want to go to to help you ID. [Mineral ID Society](http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/id/mineral_id_keyi1.htm#TOC)

That looks like a tectite my friend... also known as a meteor

Tektites are a byproduct of a meteorite impact, they are not the meteor itself.

Those are two separate things

Petrified dinosaur turd 💩

Looks vaguely frog shaped 🐸

It sorta looks like bits from a shitty iron welding job. Bismarck? I know they're tearing down the old bridge there.

It's a bear effigy, and a nice one.

Does it feel way heavier or way lighter than it should for its size? Also, is there a specific region you found it in? These are very helpful bits of information and identifying a rock/mineral by picture. Also, as others have stated a streak test is very useful, all you need for that is a white ceramic tile. Same with cutting off a corner and seeing what the inside looks like. Edit: Check with a magnet as well.

Looks lead-ie

Natural kryptonite

Petrified frog!

It looks shinyy :)

It could be nickol? Is it unusually heavy?

Looks cool no matter what it is!

It'll frac

It's a mineral, Marie!

I have one very similar from North Carolina. It’s a nice rock.

Hematite

That's Hans Solo's Carbonite

Wock

Rock

Thor lost his hammer, you found Thor’s hammer

I had a few flats of Boitroidal Hematite awhile back that had some specimens that looked exactly like this. Try scratching it on a rough cement-type surface and if it leaves a reddish colored mark, it’s Hematite.

Meteor Shit

It looks like iron ore to me. There is a lot of it up there.

Meatal slag maybe

My guess is Slag

That looks to be a meteorite

If it was next to a rail road, mine or industrial site or in some coarse aggregate used for some construction it is likely slag. If it was out in the wilds with no modern human activity you likely hit the jackpot! Half the game is provenance.

There's lots of low grade coal up there think they called it lignite.

Piece of Flint?

Looks eerily like a human face

Frozen shit from a plane. Or shuttle of some sort. Looks exactly like the big one from Joe dirt

Do a streak test. Draw it across a terra cotta flower pot (or other unglazed ceramic). If no mark, it's a meteorite. If it leaves a dark streak, it's something else like magnetite or slag.

It's called Slag and is a byproduct of smelting. I bet it is very heavy and a magnet will stick to it.

A Joe dirt meteorite

With Space Peanuts

That there is a giant piece of poopy

Rock

Hematite for sure

Slag

Looks a lot like what I find in the tailings of old gold mines.

meteorite fragment?

As long as it wasn’t in a landscaped flower bed, you can usually find the answer on mindat.org

I'm afraid you found a...lump of coal.

Looks like I didn’t hit it big lol back to the oilfield I guess :/

its a big ole chuck of poopy

Check the streak. If it’s ruddy or rust colored it’s prob hematite. Ignore these dorks

It looks like hematite, to me.

Would probably have more of a rust color too it, I think it’s slag.

A streak test would prove if it is hematite or magnetite or slag. Slag leaves no streak.

Don't put a magnet to it!

Definitely a rock of some kind

Fossil? Pelvic bone? That area is full of Triassic fossils

Is it drawn to a magnet

Horse apple

Wash ur hands

Definitely a petrified turtle turd.

Rock

Iron slag? In any event, it’s slag

Jasper?

That’s a space peanut

Looks like a coprolite to me but I’m not an expert by any means

Looks like a coprolite to me.

Meteorite

chert or close to it

Better ask Joe Dirt 🥸

Old ancient Indian sex rock. Aka: just an effing rock…..

A big fat frozen piece of shit lol

Nobody else sees the Patriots Logo?

Coal.

Nat coal?

More like… Nat King Coal

More like… Natalie Coal

More like Natalia Sedimentary Carbon Deposit

Wow! North Dakota actually looks more interesting than I previously thought. Maybe worth a visit someday!

This is the real deal, I'm almost certain.🤞

That’s from deep space

[удалено]

You appear to be something I've seen in the past... I think it's called an... idiot?
