in need of help to ID meteorite

[Mulgash]

hello treasure hunter! i live in quebec canada and one night at 3am the sky light up like it was daylight and a loud boom was heard + i felt the whole house shake, the next morning i saw 2 hole in the lake (it was mid February the ice was maybe 2 feet think or more the lake dept at this point was 12 feet) the 2 hole was maybe 1 feet large and looked like something very hot just pass trough like a hot knife trough butter, all the side of the hole was perfectly cut and smooth to the touch + there was a splash radius of almost 100 feet around the impact,at the time i was convince this was some kind of meteorite so i attached a brick to a fishing line lowered down the brick in the hole and attached a fishing floater on the top to go dig it up 2 years later as we empty the lake to clean the algae...and 2 years later i went to work!digging and digging for 2 day strait until i found this rock shown on the picture,i dig a hole of 14 feet by 14 feet around the brick in case the projectile maybe went sideways and this is the only rock that stand out from the thousand i dig there in the picture you cannot really see it but that thing surface is full of small crystal that reflect light

so what you guys think of this rock? it have been a mystery to me for years

Try using a magnet around the area.

It looks like the McDonald burger I found under the seat of my truck.

A rock that fell from the sky, well it must be a meteorite, right? I mean what else could it be .
I know nothing about meteorites or McDonald's hamburgers stored under Creskol's seat..
but would like to welcome you to the forum.

Your rock has no visible characteristics of meteorites.

Time for more coffee.

 

[Kray Gelder]

Welcome. Really great story! The light and noise is consistent with a large extraterrestrial object entering our atmosphere. As for the holes in the ice, and the rock you recovered, I'm not sure. Anyone else in your city of 8 million take an interest in this?

Super heated material, lighting the whole sky ... striking ice water.
I'd expect the impact alone would create more than two small holes.
Forget the impact, what about the steam? I'd expect massive steam to leave a large, uneven melting/blasting through the above ice? Cracking and uplifting?

Perhaps you've been looking for stones far too large ?
Two tiny splinter/specks may have shed off (You said large boom) and found their way to the pond. The real impact may be miles, counties, or states away ? Or, shattered into molten dust.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Mulgash! Take a look at Forum: Canada for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your country.

2nd - - here are a few informative articles talking about meteorites...

Meteorites are pieces of asteroids and other bodies like the moon and Mars that travel through space and fall to the earth...

3rd - If you are still convinced it might be a meteorite - you might consider posting your pictures on METEORITES for more exposure...

I’m confused by the details in this story, could you further explain how a rock coming to rest and melting through two feet of ice would cause a splash with a 100’ radius?

 

[Terry Soloman]

It is not a meteorite, period, full stop.

 

[Mulgash]

thank you all for your opinion on this rock! to answer some of the question i used a neodymium magnet all around nothing happen,i have not seen any vapor because it was late at night and i had no clue what happen i though a electric problem happen outside,for the 100 feet splash around the hole its a estimate but i believe (and it may sound ridiculous to people that actually know what they are talking about) that the ice sheet seal the water and the hot rock as it enter really fast created violent movement in the water that splash out by the 2 hole, i really dont know but that what i thought looking at the hole at the time, the hole got my attention because it destroyed my hockey spot i had made on the lake

like creskol said it look like a burger,as all burger the most important part is the patties right? i got some better picture of the thing down below now you can see the crystal that was not very clear in the last picture, the entire rock is a bunch of crystal and you can also see the "patties" look to me as a burn mark,the last picture is what i think in my delusion is the side it impacted
and like Plug N Play said it might just be small fragment of the real thing falling off in the lake and my rock is just a very weird natural crystal like rock who knows...if i ever find a place around here that can cut rock with a water jet or something like that i will saw it in half to see inside

thx vpnavy for the great information that you link

Down here south of the border in Minnesota "The Land of 10,000 Lakes", that is a common stone, weathered round from being in the lake. Appears to be sedimentary in composition.

 

[Mulgash]

thx ANTIQUARIAN i will pursue my delusion with the museum hahaha but does anyone know what could be the "burn mark" all arround it? is this something that is comon in nature? that rock (if fallen from the sky) spent 2 years under 4 feet of mud or more if the rock is natural,if the mark was made by algea or mud or whatever would the mark not be covering the entire thing?

 

[Kray Gelder]

Your rock, in my opinion, was not totally buried, but half buried in a mineral rich bottom. The band is accreted minerals.

 

[Plug N Play]

but does anyone know what could be the "burn mark" all around it?

Odds are this is a layer through the rock. If that's the case, thinking "marks" and "around" may be leading you astray. I'd be thinking "through" because that is how rocks work most of the time.
