Is it magnetic? Does your metal detecter pick it up?

Judging by the associated limestone, I agree..

Re: Very stumped on these stones (edit)
I went to the gem and mineral show in Dallas just the other weekend and took a piece of it with me and a couple of guys there were very quick to call it marcasite also. I want to thank everyone for there help, I didn't doubt anyone just wanted to get an in person opinion since they can hold it and such, I'm also pretty thrilled that it's not just your basic pyrite. Just makes me wish I grabbed more, my husband just told me the other day that he left ALOT behind, it was getting to heavy to haul and he ran out of room to carry it. What matters most is I won't forget where we found it
