Hi, I found this black pebble a couple of years ago and it was the only pebble in the zone in wich I found it. Does someone know what it is?
Welcome to Tnet.I know less about rocks than I do about women!Hi, I found this black pebble a couple of years ago and it was the only pebble in the zone in wich I found it. Does someone know what it is?
Possibly deposited by glacial movements. I found a strangely shaped piece of magnetite on Brayton Barf, a glacial deposit, just outside Selby, England. No other stones remotely resembled it in the area. It was found in a recently eroded ditch.
Copied off the internet on how to determine if it is a meteorite. Density: Meteorites are usually quite heavy for their size, since they contain metallic iron and dense minerals. Magnetic: Since most meteorites contain metallic iron, a magnet will often stick to them. For “stony” meteorites, a magnet might not stick, but if you hang the magnet by a string, it will be attracted
Magnets don't stick to it. I cannot test the attraction now, I'll verify soon.Copied off the internet on how to determine if it is a meteorite.

Good job. Let us know if they have anything special in them.My family and I are flying back home from Maine today. Last night we were walking a beach that was packed with glacial till. Freaking everything you could think of scattered everywhere. I could have spent hours and hours hunting for quarts species.
I found a couple pretty suspect chunks that are headed home with me.
The stone is a little heavier than normal but not metal heavy. Yes maybe someone found it and dropped it where I found it but it was like in the middle of the forest so... I'll call it Globullus.Looks like a cool stone. How heavy is it? Does it seem really heavy for its size?
I have a daughter that is as into rocks as I am. She however is known for only carrying her finds for a distance before conning me into hauling them or discarding them in some interesting place for another curious soul to find. Fairly likely that’s what’s happens here.
I would have scooped it up as well I am sure. Cool rock. Maybe call it blacky? Or chubby. Or….. I’m not good at this.
