Is this a meteorite?

[Evynjct]

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!

It does not have the characteristics of a meteorite, test it on a streak plate.

I didn't get anything from a refrigerator magnet. But it was too weak possibly? I should try a stronger magnet.

Your rock has no visible characteristics of meteorites.

Time for more coffee.

It wouldn't be a crazy idea to scan through landscaping material.

14 tons of rocks and they're not all the same.

Wouldn't it be funny if landscaping resulted in discoveries in people's yards?
