I think you have some iron ore there, there is no fusion crust, and like Jeff said the magnified photo seems to show silica or quartz and you will not find quartz in a meteorite, unless it is an extremely rare one. They are out there, keep looking. ht 

Thanks for the info better luck next time.

Large amounts of silica/quartz has only been recorded as being present at any major level in meteorites since a recent discovery in Hawaii. Usually, non-metallic inclusions like the light colored sand looking material is calcium based. Those look like quartz to me. Otherwise, your specimen looks pretty good although that flat surface on one side and the ropy structure on the other side is a little unusual. Since it has been water worn some it is hard to tell. I would probably go with magnetite or some other magnetic iron ore or steel by product because of the quartz inclusions. I could be wrong..........! What state was this found in and what kind of meteorite history is there in your area?

Jeff

I live in eastern oklahoma dont really know the history on that stuff

Thanks for the info would have been awesome if it was!

The last 3 pics are with my digital microscope and the last one is the grind line

Hello I am new to all this I was out magnet fishing and drug this in. It is very magnetic and i did grind it a little. I was thinking a meteorite but I have no idea really it might just be a chunk of scrap trash lol. Anyways here are some pics any help would be appreciated  it weighs 322 grams and I will put it beside something for size in pics.
