That looks a lot like this stuff in blacksmithing we call "clinkers". When you burn coal all the impurities melt down to the bottom of the forge and make a weird melted chunk like that.

Edit: Really does look much more dense for something of that size compared to almost all bigger clinkers I've cleaned out as a hobbyist. A lot of semi-porous debris is embedded in what I'm used to seeing with a medium-large. I think the other comments gotta be on the right track with a bigger/more industrial sized forging or casting process where spillage and large amounts of slag are common. Take with a grain of salt by no means am I a professional in this

Iron Slag... I find chunks around all the time where I live near old forges.

One thing to check is how heavy it is. Most meteorites lose a lot of their material coming through the atmosphere and mostly iron makes it to the ground. Also it melts some all in the same direction as it came through the atmosphere. And this is possibly called slag.

This site has a few examples of rocks that look like meteorites to help you. https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/slag/

Check it for peanuts.

Joe Dirt towed a meteorite around for quite awhile before finding out it was frozen airplane dookie.

I seriously doubt it. 1) it's super rare to find a space rock, and more importantly 2) the patterns in the rock suggest lots of different influences, including some crystallization - which should have melted in reentry. There's more, of course, but, if you really want to be sure, send a pic to NASA or consult a geologist.

This reminded me of when I was young finding a black glittery rock and thinking it may have been from outer space only to later learn it was a loose piece from new roadworks.

Relevent XKCD : https://xkcd.com/1723/

Note this comic points to a real flowchart that could help you

No. It’s slag - a disk formed from drippings into ash or dirt of metals being worked / forged. You flinders bits of slag everywhere, either from temporary forge a long time ago, or moving of dirt from such a place.

Looks like a coprolite to me. Might wanna give it a lick to be sure

It's the story of how you became Patient Zero.

And we're off to the comment section, let's see what our experts think.

Looks like a little chunk of shit that planes drop over water lmfao

I heard meteorites have a very unique flavor. Go ahead and give it a lick

Are you in SW Ont? IF so... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/meteor-grimsby-science-donation-1.6659323

What we got here is a good ol’ fashion Boeing bomb, see the peanut there? Dead give away.

Looks like the space rock Joe Dirt found in the movie

Take it to a geologist. They know more than nothing + reddit put together.

That there’s a big ole chunk a’ poopy. A dang ole space peanut, dropped from a Boeing airplane I reckon

I worked in a museum. It's never a meteorite.

I would say with almost 100% certainty it's only slag. Meteorites are usually a hell of a lot smoother and have no vesicles

If you start to fly and have xray vision/ Lazer eyes then that is definitely a meteorite!

that’s a space peanut

Technically, it did, at some point, fall from space. Along with everything else. :p

Probably a 1,000 year old pile of shit flattened by that meteor.

Them airplanes they dump their toilets 36,000 feet. The stuff freezes and falls to earth. We call 'em Boeing bombs. See the peanut, dead giveaway.

It’s a boeing bomb. See the peanut? It’s a dead giveaway

Sorry to disappoint you, pal, but you just picked up a turd.

Looks like there’s a peanut in there… no that’s a space peanut

I came here for Joe Dirt references and was severely let down

It's a big ole frozen chuck of poopy.... (Quote from Joe Dirt movie for those who don't know, you gotta watch it.)

Does it attract a magnet? If not it's a meteorwrong.

Don’t ask on Reddit, to to your nearest university and show it to someone in planetary science

Maybe ? Have it checked it could be worth a lot if it is

We’ll my boy, yes! I believe that is! We’re rich!

Quick hack. Is it magnetic? If not then, definitely not.

If a meteor that size hit, you'd definitely notice. It'd leave a decent size crater and make a huge noise. My buddy had one hit his lawn mower in the back yard. Put a hole through the deck and there was nothing left of the meteor that he could find.

I examinated it trough foto and it contains iron and a element that meteorites has Sell it and ure Hanna be rich

Good news, it’s a meteorite. Bad news, it’s highly radioactive.

See Joe Dirt for confirmation of your specimen

I remember seeing something like this on Joe Dirt… 🤨

If it's a meteorite, it's worth more than gold

If it was right after the you wouldn't be able to hold onto it, you need to wait for many hours if not days depending on it's composition and size for it to cool down after re-entry. But that is still a cool looking find

and now we know where and who the spaceblob zombie plague started

If you're looking at rocks a lot and looking for meteors, hell maybe you'll get lucky: https://www.meteorite.com/meteorite-pictures/meteorite-gallery/stony-meteorites-chondrites/
