Have I found a Meteorite? Maybe an Achondrite?
Have I found a Meteorite?
I found this rock about 15 years ago when it suddenly appeared in my yard and have done some tests on it. It does not attract a magnet, its streak is reddish on a white tile. It has smooth surfaces. I found iron particles around where I found it. It is about the size of a cantaloupe fruit and it weighs around 10 lbs.
Here are some pictures.

I am sorry but I never click on links in questions from strangers, however if you want to know if you have a meteorite or not, go to this site and it will help you to identify it.
You can also go to the public library and look at any book by O. Richard Norton. He is a meteorite expert and his books will tell you for sure too.
