Possible meteorite fragments - any experts out there?

[Stripeythecrab]

Last week in a post I mentioned that I had found some magnetic rocks in a riverbed. After closer inspection, I noticed how odd a few of them look. These four are all very rounded and pitted, there are holes much like in pumice. But since I'm in Minnesota, they can't be a product of volcanic activity. My next thought was that they were simply rocks conglomerated together with rust, but that's not the case, either.

Then their attraction to a magnet gave the idea that they might be meteorite fragments. I know nothing about them, unfortunately, but I am hoping someone in the community here does. Do these look like meteorite fragments to any of you?





Thanks in advance for the help!

Geological forums has a meteorite forum, it's down a lot farther in the forums list, if you don't get an answer here.
Looks like melted metal but I don't know, I think they have flecks in them too sometimes.
Congrats! I hope it is!

Do they feel relatively heavy for their size?

Wow,

Someone post meteorites that may actually be meteorites They look and sound genuine to me. As someone said post them on the Geological forums. I'd also take them to a nearby collage Geological center if you have a nearby collage... Very cool find I really hope they are real !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

My scale is not working at the moment, but using a balance and some pennies, I think they weigh around 5-7g apiece.

I didn't even know we had a geological forum here! Shows how much I know... I'll be posting this there right away.

Thank you all for the rapid responses! I may be able to get someone in a geological department to look at them, too.

Looks like slag or coke from a furnass to me. Sometimes called a clinker. Geologyjohn.
