Meteor or Not!

How do I know if I have an actual meteor? I found a chunk of pitted something, while installing landscaping. It is very heavy for it's size and a magnet will stick to it. The pitting is evenly spread across surface and it's kind of rusty too. I can take pictures and post, if it will help.

Thanks,

Tim

If there's a local college you could get a positive ID from the geology professor. They get this all the time.

It might be railroad slag, which is fairly common near existing freight tracks and/or old rail beds.

Pics are certainly welcome!

Keeping fingers crossed...

Best wishes.
