Found this one in an ancient sea bed along side megladon teeth. Looks like a well weathered specimen, I think it may have been rolling along the sea bed at some point and maybe dried in the desert or it got weathered by the harsh winds..but I'm not a professional.

I'm only 51% pro meteorite as it passed every test in the book, but it just doesn't look the part. Well please let me know what you think. Thank you

What does it weigh? I see the pictures well enough, but what do you see in the window? Describe that a bit. I am strictly a novice, BTW. Just curious.
I have a suspect on here as well and I meant to mention that it will scratch glass. Does yours? What color streak test?

In the window you can see there are a lot of metals which has made me un sure, otherwise I probably would have tossed it :) if the pictures are unclear for other people too then i will try and take a better one of the window but all you have to do is zoom in a bit I'm sure. It weighs 415 grams.

Make a thread with pictures and lets check it out!

My thread is right below this one.
I wasn't sure what I was looking at in the photo's. I could not tell if the bits were shiny or not.
Thought it looked more like a chondrule patter or something

Mike Stang already broke the bad news to you, and I must agree with him. It is not a meteorite. Sorry. :skullflag:
