Hey everyone,
Hoping ya'll can help me understand the difference between a meteorite and natural iron. I doubt that I'm lucky enough to have found an actual meteorite but how does one tell without being able to cut it in half to look at the internal structure?
I've attached images of a "rock"...

I keep hearing "vesicular basalt" but this has me stumped. Found near Lone Mountain Nevada yesterday evening, was the ONLY rock like it within my field of view. It's heavy for it's size (about as heavy as 2 cans of pepsi), has what I think is a very worn fusion crust, has...

I found this out of 14 tons of rocks when I was landscaping.
Out of the 14 tons of rocks I've never seen one that look like this.
The density feels like a meteorite.
Thanks!
I am a novice rock collector and found this unique rock (?)/ meteorite (?) in Death Valley. I am unable to identify it and can’t describe it except to say that it’s very heavy, with unique ridges. The lighter part with “bubbles” would have me say that it’s not a meteorite. What do you think?
