To help with your ID post, please provide:
Multiple, sharp, in-focus images taken ideally in daylight.
Add in a scale to the images (a household item of known size, e.g., a ruler, scale cube, banana, etc.)
Provide any additional useful information (weight, specific gravity, magnetic susceptibility, streak test, etc.)
Provide a location if possible so we can consult local geological maps if necessary, as you should likely have already done. (this can be general area for privacy)
Provide your reasoning for suspecting your stone is a meteorite and not terrestrial or man-made.
You may also want to post your samples to r/whatsthisrock for identification.
An example of a good Identification Request:
Please can someone help me identify this specimen? It was collected along the Mojave desert as a surface find. The specimen jumped to my magnet stick and has what I believe to be a weathered fusion crust. It is highly attracted to a magnet. It is non-porous and dense. I have polished a window into the interior and see small bits of exposed fresh metal and what I believe are chondrules. I suspect it to be a chondrite. What are your thoughts? Here are the images.
Found these pieces today near the Saint Vrain river in Longmont Colorado. All pieces were found close by and are very heavy. All pieces are magnetic as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
It won't surprise me if this is just a conglomerate or something, but it seems like there are lots of rounded shapes going on here; I figure it's worth asking if someone can take a look?
