Hello. Does anyone know of any simple home tests I can do to find out if a 
rock is a meteorite? I THINK (emphasis on think) I have found one, but I 
don't feel like  going to a museum and I don't want to butcher it either.
    My rock is magnetic, and extremely heavy for its size. It has what is 
obviously metled whatever-it-is  on the surface. And I found it on the beach, 
which could very well be the reason for the small spot of sand stuck into the 
side of it and the bits of rust.
Thanks.
Derek
