Hey everyone!
I just came back from a daytrip to the peruvian highlands (i live in Peru), and this is what I found (photo)

I believe it to be a stony meteorite.

Please note, that it is fairly big (see AA battery comparison...)
and an earth magnet sticks to it lightly...
The line, where the color changes, is where it was burried in. (I left that line, so you can see it) Also, the brownish dust on the bottom is highly magnetic.

Anyone who can help, please?

Note:
This is not the only one I found today.
In fact I found a second one, very similar looking, about 500 feet distance from the 1st one. It`sjust about 2 times the size and about 5 times as heavy.

I had to mark the spot, later come back with my dad and uncle and get it onto the pickup...:D

I dont have a pic of it, it is currently in my yard (can`t get it up the front stairs...)
 

here the object viewed from above AA battery to compare...
