These passed the tests of appearance and also magnetic. What do you all think? Are they meteorites? 15854379562715652197456965781349.jpgView attachment 18158215854381164901561653825869028973.jpg15854381654191076139730914906221.jpg15854382081014771247193117168473.jpg15854382449501758173242508902413.jpg1585438297938824282528871252134.jpg15854383507787086468475819637615.jpg1585438421275556539384566061177.jpg5[/ATTACH]
 

I think you should go back to the beach where you found these, and get the rest of them.
 

I think you will find that these have not "passed the tests of appearance". Meteorites do not have vesicles like that.

Those are volcanic terrestrial rocks, although I couldn't rule out 'slag' on some of them.

Not calling you a liar but you may be wrong according to museum data.
Thank you for your opinion though.
Anything helps

Interesting screenshot. Did you bother to link to the description of the first image, from geology.com? I did. The description of this item is what is sometimes called a meteorwrong. In this case, industrial slag.

The second item in your screenshot appears to be posted on a twitter account of aerolite meteorites. Identified as volcanic. Not a meteorite.

You got lucky with the third item on the screenshot. Found the image on geology.com. Identified as a carbonaceous chrondrite.

When you post screenshots, know your sources.

I believe you owe Red-Coat an apology.

Regarding the items you initially posted, I agree with Red-Coat. Most, if not all are volcanic terrestrial rocks. A few show evidence of being slag, so that can not be ruled out completely. None are meteorites.

Time for more coffee.
 

Most of it is industrial slag. Slag happens.
 

Ok , well thank you for your time and information , for it'll become very useful in the future. Still cool finds.
We have many other types of geodes and mineral stones etc.
Thanks
 

... and the third item you found on the web (which is the only one of the three which is a meteorite) does not have vesicles. As I said, the presence of vesicles as shown on your original specimens is a sure sign that you do not have meteorites.
