Maryellen Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I would like identification on this round, bumpy, hard object weighing. .68kg, measuring around it’s widest approx 10cm. Unfortunately, the identification remains a mystery as I have been advised by amateurs and experts that it could be a geode, agate, dinosaur egg, Dino poop, meteorite, wood, or just a river rock. Presently, it’s a doorstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Geode is my guess. Meteor would have heat damage, no egg shell looking texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Looks geological. You could try breaking or cutting it open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryellen Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Thank you for taking a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryellen Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 It has very little magnetic pull 8/11 people could not feel the resistance. I also performed the water displacement test for meteorite. There wasn’t enough to even consider it being a meteorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's a concretion. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryellen Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 I’m probably doing this incorrectly, but I’ve read all the replies, and I thank each one of you for time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a good work cutting it half. I see it as a nice concretion with iron content. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
